Five graduating seniors from the class of 2020 will receive the $10,000
Exceptional Youth Scholarship.
Los Angeles, California – June 16, 2020 – The Foundation for Global Sports Development is awarding its 2020 Exceptional Youth Scholarship to five students from the graduating class of 2020. Each $10,000 scholarship is in recognition of the student’s outstanding academic achievement and commitment to community service. The
selection committee looked at every applicant holistically, considering academics, financial need, community service and involvement, and personal experiences.
"These scholarship recipients represent the best of the best from across the United
States," said Dr. Steven Ungerleider, executive board member for the foundation. He
continued, "Between the five of them, they volunteered over 1,700 hours of community
service during their high school careers. Their academic achievements were beyond
impressive, and each student demonstrated leadership and resilience throughout their
time in high school."
This year the foundation launched its new award structure, which grants five students
$10,000, a change from its previous ten $5,000 awards. David Ulich, executive board
member for GSD, said "In past years, we saw significant gaps in funding for school, even
with our scholarship. We increased the award to close that gap and remove barriers for
deserving students."
GSD’s 2020 Exceptional Youth Scholarship winners are:
●Anna Eggers – Ben Davis High School, Indianapolis, IN – Columbia
