The Former Collegiate Athlete Scholarship Program aims to attract former collegiate athletes back to school to pursue teaching degrees. The program awards full scholarships to former athletes who did not complete a baccalaureate degree, provided they intend to serve as licensed teachers in Mississippi public schools. Scholarships cover tuition, room, meals, books, materials, and fees. Recipients must render service as a licensed teacher in a public school in Mississippi for a period based on the number of awards received.
