This morning Myah Selland and Tori Nelson (former SDSU Women Basketball players) awarded 24 MMS students Her Turn scholarships.
Her Turn is a scholarship program designed to provide sport opportunities to young girls within the Brookings community who may not otherwise have the chance. Recipients of a Her Turn scholarship will be able to attend an SDSU athletic camp of their choice at no cost to their family. Not only will a scholarship recipient attend an athletic camp, but they will also experience a college campus, build relationships, and interact with positive female role models. In addition, Her Turn strives to reduce any barrier families commonly face in sport experiences. Her Turn will work with families to provide transportation to and from the camp, as well as provide necessary equipment to attend the camp.
Her Turn is affiliated with the Brookings Foundation. We have an advisory committee assembled of extremely compassionate, dedicated, and knowledgeable community members. This committee will be responsible for narrowing down the applications to find young girls within the Brookings community who would most benefit from an experience like this.
