The EBBOA College Scholarship Program

Overview:
The EBBOA firmly believes that high school athletics is a vital extension of the academic experience.  In support of that belief, the EBBOA sponsors an annual College Scholarship Program to reward student-athletes who succeed in the classroom while balancing a commitment to a basketball team.

Presently, the EBBOA College Scholarship Program is funded exclusively through donations from members of the EBBOA.  Officials choose to donate game fees from one, two or three games that they work throughout each season.  If you are an EBBOA official and would like to donate to the scholarship program, please click on the EBBOA Scholarship Donation link.  One-hundred percent of the funds are distributed in the form of scholarships to qualified applicants.  The EBBOA covers all of the administrative expenses associated with running the program.

Individuals or corporations interested in donating to the program are welcome and encouraged to do so.  If you are interested in becoming a donor, please contact Brian Hudes, Director of the EBBOA College Scholarship Program, at bhudes@ebboa.org.

Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis. The EBBOA College Scholarship Program Selection Committee determines the amount of scholarships awarded each year based on the number of qualified applications received and the amount of funds donated.
