Scholarships

We want to make sure sports are as accessible as possible for kids to start honing skills and making sports something they want to keep coming back to season after season. We have also partnered with STRIKE Energy and  a number of our sports organizations to offer the FSMSA Strike Scholarship to recognize and reward senior high school students that participate in FSMSA sports and encourage them to pursue post-secondary studies. There are three different tiers of the Strike Scholarship:

STRIKE Gold Scholarship: $1000 awarded to applicants

STRIKE Silver Scholarship: $500 awarded to applicants

STRIKE Bronze Scholarship: $250 awarded to applicants

Eligibility: To be eligible for these scholarships, applicants must be students with full-time enrollment at a post-secondary institution in Fall 2026 or Winter 2027. Scholarships awarded will prefer current high school students graduating in June 2026, however any post-secondary student that has participated in FSMSA sports are eligible for the 2026 Strike Scholarship. Proof of enrollment at a post-secondary institution will be required before monetary disbursement.
