MARS Rolling Scholarship Program

​

The Massachusetts Association of Recreational Sports (MARS) Rolling Scholarship Program has been developed to provide professionals and students with financial assistance for attending an event in relation to their profession, i.e.: NIRSA conferences, leadership schools, clinics, intramural championships, etc.

 

By design, this scholarship provides the state association with opportunities to assist those members who want to excel in their recreational and co-curricular pursuits, but need help getting to the next level.
