Education Scholarships Introduced for Sportspersons

Champ for Life Academy and Shyamali Bhalotia Memorial Trust is set to offer 1000 scholarships for junior athletes in India.

The Champ of Life Academy is an online educational portal dedicated for athletes or children of sporting fraternity. The academy was launched by Protouch Sports two years back.

The Scholarship will ensure the tuition and guiding students will be done via online and the curriculum can be appeared through any smart phones. The academy is also considering providing smartphones to the students as well in the near future.

Students will have to appear for the offline examinations as per their preferred exam center.

Purpose of Scholarship

The Champ of Life Academy believes that India does not win medals on a regular basis at international level because dreams and education do not go hand in hand. The scholarship will give a chance to those athletes who are distant from education.

Eligibility for Availing the Scholarship

The Scholarship Scheme will be awarded to below students only:

1. Students who are junior athletes or belong from Sports fraternity
2. Candidates must be above the age of 14
3. Students who have been enrolled in National Institute of Open Schooling for secondary and senior secondary courses
4. Students who are studying in Indira Gandhi National Open University at graduate level.
5. Athletes who had to drop out of school or college can also apply for the scholarship.

Awarding Scholarship

Scholarships will be awarded only after thorough inspection of sporting credentials and students’ family financial condition by a panel of eminent sports celebrities.

The portal is only imparting education in english language only, but the academy is promising to offer education in regional languages too in the future.

Salient features of Scholarship

The scholarship will entail tuition from video lectures and study notes to the selected candidates.

Students' mental toughness, social skills, handling finances, goal setting and stress management, sports nutrition, sports conditioning and personality development will also be a part of the curriculum.
