The Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team Program

The Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team Program was formed in 1996 and is a partnership established by the Golden State Warriors, Oakland A’s, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, San Jose Earthquakes and San Jose Sharks.

Each participating sports team has contributed to the scholarship program in a collective effort to assist Bay Area high school students in achieving their goals of higher education. This unique committee is the first of its kind in the realm of professional sports.

The Bay Area All-Star Scholarship

The Bay Area All-Star Scholarships will be awarded to six successful students residing within the Bay Area’s nine counties. All public high schools within these counties are encouraged to nominate up to four students for this prestigious college award. Each award recipient will receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 and will be recognized at team ceremonies.

Eligibility

A teacher or school administrator must nominate all scholarship candidates. To nominate a student(s), the school official must submit a letter of recommendation describing the unique qualities, achievements and circumstances that make the student(s) an exceptional scholarship nominee.
