APPLY
Zack Zolin Scholarship Foundation’s mission is to provide partial scholarships to collegiate student athletes. Ideal applicants are committed and passionate to their sport but may have overcome obstacles and might not be given opportunities at the higher collegiate level.
Scholarship applications are reviewed and awarded twice a year - once in January and once in August. Typically, the scholarship money will be paid directly to your student account at your college and may be used for student athletes to pay towards their tuition, books, housing, or sports related expenses.
Applicants can be high school senior athletes who will start college next year or current college student athletes continuing their college education. Applicants must meet the criteria and provide the requirements outlined below. Click below to navigate to our scholarship application platform.

Provide the recommender's name and email address and the platform will send them an email asking them to complete the reference letter.
