We are honored to say that this year we awarded $90,000 in scholarships to 35 different recipients! In addition to the Zane Timpson and Ian "Poods" Barry Memorial Scholarships, the Atiba Jefferson Photography & Film Scholarship and our own Dean's List Scholarships, we added even more specialized scholarship opportunities in 2024. The Emerald Peace Scholarship (x3 this year) is specifically for first-gen college students, DACA recipients and LGBTQ+ skateboarders. The brand new Skullcandy Scholarship for Engineers is made available to engineering majors. And we even partnered with No-Comply Skateshop in Austin, TX to award $15,000 to Austin Community College student skaters via the No-Comply x ACC Scholarship. Although we were able to support these amazing skaters with $90,000, all of the 268 skaters that applied for a scholarship with us this year are on the hook for $1.7 million, JUST in tuition, PER semester. This work is far from over. As we continue to grow, we'd love to hear from you. Share this with a friend or drop us a line. Thank you all for the support we've received this last seven years! 💚 #supporteducation #collegeskateboarding

"I’m so stoked to support the next generation of skateboard photographers and film makers. The Atiba Jefferson Scholarship fund is giving $7500 and one of my personal Canon USA cameras to support photography/film college and graduate students in the US that are skateboarders. Thank you CSEF for making it happen. Apply at collegeskateboarding.com. Amazing art by Pistol Pat." - Atiba Jefferson https://lnkd.in/gUDE9cbt #supporteducation #photography #film #collegeskateboarding

There was some confusion this year: we thought for Giving Tuesday we were supposed to give more to the skateboarders we already help... So instead of asking you for another donation, we sent CSEF Pro Model skateboards to each of our 2023 Scholarship recipients with support from @CCS 💚 Happy Giving Tuesday to all who celebrate! We are inspired every day by all the nonprofits using skateboarding as a tool to make the world a better place. Hope you raise boatloads of money this year 🫡 And if you do feel inclined to help send more skateboarders to college, you can donate at https://lnkd.in/dmtT5gW 🙏 #scholarship #supporteducation #collegeskateboarding
