CATS Family Scholarships

In 2003, CATS created the CATS Family Scholarship. What is unique about the CATS Family Scholarship? It is a scholarship rewarded to the son or daughter of a CATS member. Four scholarships, each in the amount of $2,000 for one academic year are awarded to qualifying applicants enrolled full-time at a college or university for the upcoming year. Academic achievements, awards, activities, volunteer work, letters of recommendation and an essay are reviewed. Sponsors endowing these scholarships are Pro Orthopedics, BuzzeoPDMA, Inc., HydroWorx, and Johnson & Johnson

These scholarships provide CATS and its corporate sponsors another opportunity to show support for the college athletic trainer. The CATS Family Scholarship exemplifies the relationship and cooperative efforts between CATS and its corporate sponsors. We recognize that our members continue to struggle with low salaries, rising tuition and loss of remitted tuition waivers. With these scholarships, our organization has created an opportunity to reward children of CATS members while assisting their parents in sharing some burden in the costs for higher education.

Over the past few years, our scholarship committee has reviewed numerous applications from children of CATS members. We feel honored these parents and their children have shared their lives and future aspirations with our group. It is incredible to see these promising young adults, children of college athletic trainers, achieve academic success, volunteer time, pursue degrees of higher education and much more.

It is CATS' hope that each of these individuals continue to work hard in their studies, achieve their goals with success and make their parents proud.
