Starting in September, SoccerPro opened the application of their Fall 2009 “Awesomeness” Soccer Scholarship. The guidelines were simple and the scholarship was open to any full time collegiate that was actively involved in soccer (a player, fan, owner of a soccer ball) and effectively implemented awesomeness into their life.

SoccerPro received over 2,500 applications from college students across the United States with fantastic stories of soccer, education, adventure, future dreams and service.

After reading through the applications, SoccerPro finally decided on the recipient, Clara Kienzle from Agnes Scott College in Georgia- Congratulations Clara!

Clara is currently the starting striker for the Agnes Scott women’s team, as a freshman (huge deal), and finished the last game of the season by heading the ball in to win the game 1-0. She is studying International Affairs and is looking to join the Peace Corps after graduating.

Thank you to everyone who applied. SoccerPro is looking to do similar soccer scholarships once a year, maybe every semester.
