HELP LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETES

honest game foundation logo

At The Honest Game Foundation, our mission is to level the playing field so that every student has a fair and equitable opportunity to attend college.

With the cost of college growing at a rate of 8x the average wage and the ballooning student loan debt, the dream of college is slipping away for many of our youth. By leveraging their academic and athletic skills, college-bound students can access scholarships to help pay for their degree.

Collegiate athletic scholarships are at risk because NCAA and NAIA academic eligibility requirements are complex and adherence to their compliance rests solely on high school staff. In fact, 1 million student-athletes every year are not on track with academic requirements to accept an athletic scholarship. In under-resourced communities, almost 1 in 2 students are academically ineligible to gain access to college via athletics.

Join us and contribute to the dream of equal access to college – together we can provide accessible technology and services for schools that drives student motivation, improves learning outcomes, and creates equitable pathways to post-secondary success for all students.

Interested in applying for a grant? If you’re an organization or school that is committed to access and equity for college-bound students, we’d love to hear from you!
