USA Gymnastics gives out annual trampoline and tumbling scholarships to elite level trampoline and tumbling athletes based on a number of factors including: GPA, educational goals, prior competitive performance, financial need, athletic potential, leadership, reference letters and an essay. Some of the individual scholarships look for other specific characteristics.
USA Gymnastics recognizes that college-age athletes are essential to our international competitive standing. The scholarship fund was established 11 years ago in order to give these athletes every opportunity to meet the demands of higher education while still training and competing for the program. This year, the scholarships were given out at the U.S. Elite Challenge in Frisco, Texas. There is a five-member scholarship committee who evaluates the applications and presents the awards.
Below is a list of the 2013 award winners and information about the particular scholarship.
