We are proud to announce the RunRepeat Athletic Leadership Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded once a year to the college or university student who best demonstrates how sport and leadership are connected and lead to living a healthier, more balanced life.
We at RunRepeat want to celebrate and encourage the drive it takes to set goals, overcome hurdles and ultimately find success by rewarding active students through this scholarship opportunity.
RunRepeat believes in fostering the well being of our future generations by encouraging exercise, healthy living, education, and growth through overcoming the difficult challenges that sport enables. Through physical challenge, determination and work ethic, leadership is born.
If you’re a current full-time student at an accredited college or university, or a high school senior with a valid acceptance letter to an accredited college or university please apply.
Thanks and good luck!
