Sport and Recreation Management Leadership and Innovation Scholarship

To support and encourage student leaders and innovators in UI Sport and Recreation Management (SRM), the program invites current UI SRM undergraduate and master’s students to apply for SRM Leadership and Innovation Scholarships. Total funding of $8,000, which will be broken up over multiple individual scholarship awards, is available. The application review committee will allocate funds based on the applicant’s demonstration in their application materials of leadership and innovation (in the SRM program, elsewhere on campus, in extracurricular activities, in their community, and/or other examples).

Applicants are eligible for one SRM Leadership and Innovation Scholarship, but receipt of an SRM Leadership and Innovation Scholarship does not disqualify an applicant from applying for other types of SRM scholarships. Recipients may re-apply in future years for SRM Leadership and Innovation Scholarships.

Criteria
A committee of SRM faculty and staff will review all applications and will make award decisions based on a combination of the following criteria.

The applicant:

• Must demonstrate leadership and/or innovation on- or off-campus, in their home communities, in their workplaces, or elsewhere. Leadership and/or innovation related to sport and recreation is preferred, but leadership and/or innovation may be demonstrated in other ways.
• Must be a declared Sport and Recreation Management program undergraduate (BS) or master’s (MA) student. Double-major students are eligible, but one major must be SRM.
• Must be a registered full-time student. The application review committee will consider less than full-time enrollment applicants if the applicant is in their final semester before graduation or if a graduate student.

The application review committee may use additional information on MAUI to confirm scholarship eligibility, such as, but not limited to grade report, enrollment status, program of study, and academic standing.
