Live Like Sam and YSA are excited to partner on a new community scholarship opportunity, the Gratitude Grant Merit Scholarship. Gratitude is an essential part of the Live Like Sam guiding principles, especially as it relates to social responsibility. Teaching young athletes to express gratitude and stay humble is exactly what Live Like Sam and YSA aim to do.
The top scholarship winner will receive a $500 merit scholarship, with the next five winners receiving a $250 merit scholarship. Winners will be notified in August and scholarships handed out at the YSA Circle of Excellence Awards at Skull Candy Headquarters this September.
