INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (July 30, 2025) – The USA Gymnastics Foundation has awarded $162,500 in 2025 scholarships and grants for men’s artistic gymnasts and Regional Elite Team support.

Nearly $97,000 in academic scholarships were awarded to 32 athletes competing in men’s collegiate gymnastics programs. In addition, more than $65,500 was provided to the six USA Gymnastics men’s Regions to assist with costs relating to the Elite Team Cup competition and various camps and clinics throughout the season. Nearly $11,000 was allocated to each region.

“Grants from the USA Gymnastics Foundation are integral to strengthening all levels of the USA Gymnastics men’s artistic program,” USAG Vice President of men’s gymnastics Jason Woodnick said. “We are looking to build on our Paris 2024 success at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and providing support for both our grassroots and collegiate athletes is key to that success.”
