Purpose
Partners of Excellence, serves as a platform to fund outstanding individuals in the strength and conditioning community, including coaches, faculty, and industry professionals. This financial support directly advances practical applications of the strength and conditioning field, and has supported NSCA members at all levels of education, from high school students to doctoral researchers.
Your Support in Action
Donations from NSCA members have enabled us to support deserving individuals in a myriad of ways. Since its inception, the NSCA Foundation has awarded over:
- Over 180 grants and 500+ scholarships
- $148,000 for Minority Scholarships
- $223,000 for Women’s Scholarships
- $210,000 in grants to support Master level research
- $821,000 in grants to support Doctoral level research
“When I received the NSCA Foundation Scholarship, I was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach, which of course means I lived with multiple roommates, looked for a free meal wherever I could find one, and barely had enough cash for gas to the weight room! The scholarship was a help financially and psychologically. Scholarships such as this help many new coaches gain experience while providing quality coaching to thousands of athletes.”
