SCHOLARSHIP
At 2Words Character Development, we develop and enable students to become all-star leaders on and off the field.
When the Friday night lights shut off and students hang up their jerseys, we want them to be defined by their character, not by the points on the scoreboard. It’s crucial to be exposed to tools, practices, and foundational principles to build outstanding character.
The Letterman to Leadership Scholarship is an online tournament where graduating student athletes will each win a $1,000 scholarship towards their college of choice, and named the Texas Student Athlete of the Year, powered by 2Words Character Development.
We want to recognize and encourage the kind of young women and men that will become the next generation of leaders. With this scholarship, we hope to remove barriers to success.
