Scholarship Program

Traditional scholarships are typically applied to a student-athlete’s student balance. Through this process, there is no way for the student-athlete to use their scholarship funds for anything other than tuition, meal plans, and other functions directly related to their school. Many student-athletes are not in a position to work while they are in school and often the stress of balancing school and sports schedules is what contributes to mental health problems.

​

Our Scholarship Program is designed to help collegiate athletes who have lived experience with mental health or illness. We connect student-athletes to vetted clinical sport psychologists, where they will receive free mental health services throughout the school year. 

 

AFA will launch this Scholarship Program in collaboration with The Hidden Opponent & Morgan's Message. Our scholarship winners will receive the following:

​

1.) $1,500 towards mental health services

2.) Free access to a Clinical Sport Psychologist who has been trusted by either PYSPACT or the USOPC

3.) Up to 12 sessions

4.) Career Development 

5.) Opportunities to collaborate on content
