Scholar-Baller™
In 1995, Scholar-Baller™ developed a groundbreaking program to bridge the gap between education and sport utilizing student-athletes’ passion for entertainment and athletics. In 2006, the NCAS partnered with Scholar-Baller™ to offer NCAS members access to Scholar-Baller™ at a discounted rate.
The full Scholar-Baller™ curriculum — including training, site-visits, assessment, annual reports, and one-year curriculum content for incoming freshmen — is available to NCAS members for $5,500 (a 50% discount from the $11,000 normal fee).
License fees are also discounted by 50% — to $750 from the $1,500 normal fee. This includes educational branding, marketing and advertising, as well as research on how student-athletes with Scholar-Baller™ status feel about the Scholar-Baller™ I.M.A.G.E. (Intellectual Messages in Athletics that Garner Excellence) they represent.
