Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team

Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team

Bay FC is partnering with the San Jose Sharks, San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors, Golden State Valkyries and San Jose Earthquakes on a joint scholarship program for high school seniors, forming the Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team (BAASST).

The Bay Area All-Star Scholarships are awarded annually to six successful students residing within the Bay Area’s nine counties. Each scholar will receive an award in the amount of $5,000 and will be recognized at team ceremonies. Bay FC’s BAASST territory comprises all participating high schools in San Mateo and Marin counties.

A teacher or school administrator must nominate all scholarship candidates. To nominate a student(s), the school official must attach a letter of recommendation describing the unique qualities, achievements, and circumstances that make the student(s) an exceptional scholarship nominee.
