College Athletic Trainers' Society

We are thrilled to announce a new education grant sponsored by Gatorade – the Fueling Greatness Education Grant. The Fueling Greatness Education Grant will recognize college athletic trainers who have excelled with the advancement of their sports medicine programs and significantly improved student-athlete services. Presented each spring, the grant will award $1,000 to three certified athletic trainers employed full-time at a college or university to help sponsor their attendance at the upcoming CATS Spring Symposium. 

Qualified applicants will be able to demonstrate how they have helped advance their sports medicine program or improve the services provided for their student-athletes and athletic departments.

• Did you recognize a problem within your department?
• Were there limitations in the services available to your student-athletes?
• What did you do to solve the issue?
• Where is your program/department today?

Application Requirements:

• Submit completed application form
• Submit essay/Letter from applicant (see application form for additional instructions)
• Letter of recommendation or acknowledgement from an athletic department administrator, campus administrator, team physician or supervising athletic trainer and specifically referencing how the applicant has advanced the department or improved student-athlete services
• Provide any additional information you deem appropriate to support your accomplishment(s) described in your essay/letter

Applications will be reviewed by the CATS Continuing Education Grant Committee.
