AAIB BOXERS ASSISTANCE CORPORATION

The organization's main goal is to provide funding for college scholarships to amateur boxers. The need for a scholarship for boxers is unique. A variety of private, governmental, and institutional sources in the United States already provide aid based on academics, financial need, and athletics. Athletes who excel in many sports, such as basketball and football, often receive scholarships due to the college's support of that particular sport. However, there are very few collegiate boxing programs in this country. Therefore, there is little financial assistance for the amateur boxer who wants to attend college. As a result, although the amateur boxer might excel in his or her craft, a scholarship is virtually unattainable, and the boxer is denied financial assistance.
