Tardus Beach Volleyball Scholarship
With warm weather and blue skies throughout the year, beach volleyball is a very popular sport in Hawaii, where beach volleyball is beginning to be offered at the high school level.
Beach volleyball is currently an equivalency sport, so colleges have a limited number of athletic scholarships available for players. Some college programs with large rosters divvy the available scholarships between athletes. As a result, many players may only have a portion of their out-of-pocket costs covered, even if they receive an athletic scholarship.
Athletes from Hawaii face an even more significant challenge. Because most of the beach volleyball schools are located on the mainland, without in-state tuition, the cost of college can be unattainable for those students. Therefore, many students choose indoor volleyball over beach volleyball because of the higher prevalence of scholarship opportunities.
This scholarship aims to bridge the gap between high school and college so that beach volleyball players can continue to thrive in their athletic pursuits.
Any high school or undergraduate student (freshman and sophomores preferred) who is a beach volleyball player may apply for this scholarship, but residents of Hawaii with 3.2 GPAs or higher are preferred. Applicants should be committed to playing beach volleyball in college.
