The Carl Fricks Sportsmanship Scholarship is presented annually to graduating high school seniors from the St. Louis metro area who embody outstanding sportsmanship. Administered by the St. Louis Sports Commission Associates – the Sports Commission’s young professionals group – the scholarship recognizes individuals who exemplify honesty, integrity, civility, selflessness, kindness, compassion and class in athletic competition. Candidates are evaluated strictly on their approach, character and respect for others on the playing field. Athletic performance (wins and other stats) does not factor in the selection – making the scholarships unique.
The Associates launched the Sportsmanship Scholarship in 2009. The group raises funds for the program and selects its recipients. In twelve years, the Associates have awarded $182,500 in academic scholarships to 55 college-bound students. The scholarship program is part of the Sports Commission’s efforts to promote and encourage sportsmanship in the community.
Visit sportsmanship.org/scholarship for more information and to view previous scholarship recipients.
SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
Help us celebrate sportsmanship by nominating a deserving student who has demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and character in athletic competition. The application packets will be available in January. You can also view the bios of past recipients to see the type of attributes and actions the scholarship committee seeks to recognize. For more details, call Solomon Alexander at 314-345-5130 or email salexander@stlsports.org.
