We will be awarding five students a $500 scholarship toward expenses for the 2026 Travel Season. The vision for our Kids program is to serve as the foundation for our future leaders and champions.
Â
Scholarships will be awarded to students who most skillfully embody our vision, based on the criteria below.
Competitive Rankings
We will consider a student’s competitive record and experience, as documented on eastonpodium.com. This includes data compiled from approximately 27 local tournaments over 3+ years, designated as Easton events.
Financial Need
Students’ financial status and income levels will be considered in the selection process.
Â
Work Ethic
Champions behave like champions before they’re champions. We will consider a student’s attendance across programs — Tigers, Advanced, and Competition Classes — as well as their commitment to extracurricular study and additional work.
Â
Leadership
We look for exemplary students who consistently demonstrate our four principles. Candidates should be models of student behavior that coaches can point to as examples for their peers.
Â
Short Video or Written Essay
Applicants can further distinguish themselves by submitting a personal statement — either a short 2–3 minute video or a written essay of 300–500 words.
Â
While optional, this provides evaluators with valuable insight into a student’s commitment and character, complementing the main criteria.
