Adopt-a-Scholar Program

Since 1997, the Adopt-a-Scholar Program has given athletes and artists from around the world with the opportunity to attend the Games. The participants who receive "adoption funding" would otherwise be unable to attend the program.

Those who adopt a scholar-athlete/artist may gear their scholarship towards a particular student, activity, country or state. At the WSAG, those who adopt are invited to attend a private reception to meet the recipient of the scholarship.

Adopt-a-Scholar opportunities are available by mailing in the printable form or online through PayPal.

Adopt a participant now and change the life of a deserving teenager!

"Thank you for considering adopting a scholar-athlete or artist. Through the generosity of my "adoptive father", I was able to attend the 1993 World Scholar-Athlete Games as a representative of the Philippines. From the international atmosphere to the fun activities, it is an experience I still remember as if it were yesterday. The WSAG were so impactful in my life, that it was the subject of my college application essay and interview. I whole-heartedly encourage you to sponsor a scholar-athlete/artist and encourage my fellow alumni to do the same!"
