Scholar Athletes, Inc. is a nonprofit organization
led by professional men and women who volunteer
their time and efforts to help expose high school
athletes to the essential educational and athletic
disciplines necessary to become productive
student-athletes. Academic and athletic guidance
are the basic concepts of the program. Our academic
goal is not only to assist in improving grades through
a tutorial service but also to encourage youth to learn
to retain and apply information. Basketball will be
used as a means to show the importance of using
this technique.

Another goal of the program is to increase college
and university awareness of the Bay Area's
student-athlete talent pool. Participating in tournaments,
regional, and national camps is one way of achieving
that goal.

Scholar Athletes, Inc. uses basketball, an area that
does not depict one's economic, social status, or
educational level as a medium to introduce these
areas of discipline thus giving youth a more conducive
environment for learning. Plans also include involving
business people, entertainers, and professional athletes
from the community as speakers, role models, and mentors.
