Trampoline & Tumbling Scholarship Program

The members of the Trampoline & Tumbling Program recognize that college-age athletes are essential to our international competitive standing. In order to give these athletes every opportunity to meet the demands of higher education while still training and competing for the program, steps must be taken to help provide funding.

COMMITTEE: A sub-committee of 4 USA Gymnastics Professional Members will choose scholarship recipients. The Scholarship Committee will consist of the Program Director; voting member, Chair of Scholarship Committee; voting member of committee (selected by the Program Committee), a member of the Program Committee and an Athlete Representative (retired from competition) over the age of 18. Athlete Representative should ideally have a college degree/business experience (selected by Program Committee; voting member).

The Scholarship Committee may allocate funds to athletes in any amount, as deemed appropriate.
