The Student Athlete Foundation

The Student Athlete Foundation was created with a vision of establishing an endowment fund to provide scholarships for young adults who have a passion for education and athletics.

Your contribution to The Student Athlete Foundation, through the Passion for Excellence Scholarship Fund, will enable us to provide tuition assistance for a number of qualified students, who would otherwise be unable to afford the IMGAcademies/IMGPendleton School experience.

There are countless stories of our alumni, who have gone on to academic, athletic and professional success, largely because of their experience on our campus.  Some of our well-known alumni, who have benefited from tuition assistance to attend IMG Academies, include Monica Seles, Jim Courier, Maria Sharapova and Paula Creamer.  Thousands of our athletes receive academic and athletic scholarships to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.

Each year, four-percent of the endowment fund will be allocated for need-based, tuition assistance to deserving Student Athletes, age 9 to 19, from the United States and abroad, thus creating additional opportunities and transforming dreams into reality.

Each Student Athlete will be evaluated on a wide range of qualifying criteria, including:

Academic Performance Interpersonal Skills
Athletic Commitment Financial Background
Personality/Character Individual Hardships
Focus/Desire References/Recommendations
