R. Degaull Rice was a devoted husband, son, brother, father and grandfather who passed away too soon. Ronald grew up playing football, baseball, and wrestling with family and friends, that he loved so much.
Ronald loved sports and hoped to compete in wrestling at the collegiate level, but was unable to due to dislocating his shoulder. Ronald's path took a different turn and he served 12 years for a crime he did not commit. Upon his release, he devoted the remainder of his life providing guidance and mentorship to young African American males. He encouraged these young men to participate in sports and make their education a priority.
Giving back to the next generation of young boys is crucial in making college more accessible and addressing declines in male college-goers. A key part of incentivizing young people to attend college is to empower them to pursue their dreams, regardless of what they may be, rather than the traditional fields they feel like they should study.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of R. Degaull Rice by supporting young boys who are pursuing sports related degrees.
Any African American male high school or undergraduate student who is studying a sports-related field (exercise science, exercise physiology, athletic training, physical therapy, sports communication, sports management, sports and fitness administration, etc.) may apply for this scholarship opportunity. However, applicants attending HBCUs are preferred.
To apply, tell us why you’re pursuing your major of choice and how you will give back to your community after graduation.
