The Boselli Foundation previously had a college scholarship program that targeted student leaders who achieved academic excellence while striving to reach their full athletic potential. Scholarships were awarded to qualifying juniors who need financial assistance to further their educational goals. This program and funds were turned over to the Gator Bowl Association to continue this successful model with students who meet the requirements for the scholarship.

The program targeted juniors, because we believed that it was important to allow recipients enough time to arrange for other financial needs that may not be met through The Boselli Foundation Christian Scholar-Athlete College Scholarships. Our scholarships were purchased through the FL Prepaid College Foundation and covered tuition at an accredited university within the State of Florida University and Community College system.

Applications were accepted each year from high school juniors from Florida's First Coast who met the following criteria:

• Maintain a 3.0 GPA (on an unweighted 4.0 scale) from
  an accredited high school in Florida's First Coast area
• Participate in a varsity sport or its equivalent
• Participate in extra-curricular activities
  through church, school and community
• Exhibit exemplary behavior, serving as a positive
  role model for peers
• Pledge to remain drug-free, alcohol-free
  and tobacco-free
• Demonstrate need for financial assistance
  to meet college expenses
• Maintain at least one year's residence in Florida
