St. Louis Sports Foundation
Carl fricks Sportsmanship Scholarship
PRESENTED BY THE SPORTS COMMISSION ASSOCIATES
Rewarding St. Louis’ Good Sports
As part of our effort to promote and encourage sportsmanship in the community, the Carl Fricks Sportsmanship Scholarship is presented annually to graduating high school seniors from the St. Louis metro area who embody outstanding sportsmanship. 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 this scholarship truly unique.
Launched in 2009 by the St. Louis Sports Commission Associates – the Sports Commission’s young professionals group – the group raises funds for the program and selects its own recipients. Over the past fourteen years, $220,000 in academic scholarships have been awarded to 66 college-bound students.
Congratulations 2025 Scholarship Recipients!
