Rockland County, NY (June 20, 2022) – Are you heading to college this coming Fall and are leaning towards a career in Sports Management or Business? If you are, you should be applying for the NY529/New York Boulders University scholarship.
Sports Management is one of the fastest growing college majors in the country and Business is an essential component of the industry. A career in sports is also much more than playing or watching a game, there are a number of fields where people work behind the scenes such as facilities operations, public relations and marketing, corporate sponsorships, community relations, event presentation, in-game entertainment, sports medicine, graphics, control room operations, etc.
This summer, the Boulders will be donating six scholarships worth $529 apiece into a student’s NY529 account. The scholarships are open to graduating high school seniors who are seeking to pursue such careers.
To be eligible, a student must fill out and submit the scholarship application on the Boulders’ website at www.nyboulders.com. Applications need to be received by July 15, with the winners announced the week of July 25.
The winners will be honored with on-field recognition at a Boulders’ game the week of Aug. 1.
Submitted applications must include the student’s name, e-mail address, phone number, name of high school, projected college or university planning to attend beginning this fall and his/her projected major area of study.
Three questions need to be answered:
- What are you planning to study and why are you interested?
- What traits or skills do you possess that will transfer to a career in the sports or business industries?
- What experience have you had (aside from playing if you plan a career in sports) that you feel have prepared you for a future career in sports or business?
The completed applications should be submitted to Gail Gultz, Boulders’ Educational Director, at teach@nyboulders.com.
