San Jose Sports Authority REACH Youth Scholarship

The San Jose Sports Authority established the REACH Youth Scholarship Awards in 1996 and presented the first REACH scholarships to members of the Class of 1997. REACH is an acronym that stands for Recognizing Excellence, Adversity, Courage and Hard Work. The program’s stated goal—both then and now—is to recognize and honor local high school senior student-athletes who have overcome adversity to excel academically and athletically. The REACH Youth Scholarship awardees will be celebrated during the May 24 match vs. NJ/NY Gotham FC.
