Kelly S. Ellis Athletic Training Scholarship
Athletic trainers are a vital part of the sports industry, ensuring that athletes can optimize their performance and be as safe as possible.
Athletic trainers not only help athletes prepare so they can prevent injuries, they’re also there to diagnose and treat injuries and illnesses when they arise. Sports are dangerous, especially for athletes at the top of the game, so dedicated athletic trainers are crucial for the care and health of athletes at all levels.
