what we do
Helping Scholars Stand Out
Developing a support system for kids that have goals, objectives, athletic talents, and academic abilities but don’t have the resources to help themselves to achieve their dreams
HOW DO WE HELP
Presenting Opportunities
AQUAS intends to provide the funds to professionally distribute information on those students that has proven themselves academically, are involved in their high school and community activities, and have the passion to play their sport at the next level, to presenting them to college coaches throughout the United States.
WHO DO WE HELP
Real kids, Real effects
AQUAS stands for Assistance for Qualified Underserved Athletic Scholars, and there’s nothing more gratifying to us, than seeing a kid that we help facilitate them going to college and open to great opportunities.
Over the past ten years AQUAS has assisted 53 underprivileged kids access to $8.5MM in scholarship opportunities to help pay for their college education!
Without your support these kids might never reach their potential or worse be forced to the mean streets!
WHY WE DO IT
Planting Seeds, Changing Trajectory of Families
This story of AQUAS is really at the core of the stories of the students themselves, by being able to have them tell their own personal stories of how these scholarships change their lives, how possibly these scholarships change the trajectory of their family tree, their sibblings, their community, financial stability, These are the stories that are going to be heard.
REMOVING BARRIERS
Helping Parents Encourage their Children
Many parents are not in the financial position to even afford a full college tuition for their child, let alone engage the services of a sports marketing professional group to promote the talents of these young athletes. Subsequently, their child’s formal education may end at the time of high school graduation. Parents who work with AQUAS can focus on encouraging their children to pursue their aspirations and receive the dream education.
Everyone has value
OUR SCHOLARS
To understand the impact of AQUAS on the Scholars and their families you should get to know their stories and how it changes their lives and how these kids can now have a more positive effect on the world around them.
