Re: Ultimate Scholarship

Since my freshman year, I've been planning on setting-up at least one
ultimate scholarship for a women's player at my college, and maybe one
for the men's too, if I can (once I finish myself and get settled in a
career to pay for it.)  It'd be just like any other academic
scholarship for disadvantaged students, except with a clause about
playing ultimate and demonstrating good spirit.

I think it's one of the best ways to promote ultimate at my school and
help our program considering that, besides the obvious benefit of
attracting players with some high school experience, it would also
help young players get their higher education.  In my eyes, as long as
it promotes something worthwhile, any scholarship is a good
scholarship.

(Other goals I have in mind to encourage ultimate are coaching a high
school team and opening my own ultimate summer camp, for starters...)
