About Us

Ballers2Scholars has a clear vision: bridge the gaps between athletics, academics, and professional opportunities for current and former student-athletes. Our journey began with a shared passion for supporting youth athletes as they navigate the complexities of balancing rigorous training with academic excellence, and has resulted in a holistic advisory program.

With a commitment to the spirit of sports culture and providing comprehensive support and impact, Ballers 2 Scholars was born.

Our team is driven by personal experiences and achievements in sports, career, and education. We recognize the unique challenges faced by current and former student-athletes, especially in the evolving NIL landscape.

We see an opportunity to create a supportive environment where our community can thrive in all life arenas, given the underlying culture of athletes. 

We began academic tutoring and athletic guidance pilots in 2013 with a handful of volunteers in the greater Boston area. The swift and significant impact exceeded our expectations. The pilot program quickly expanded to other regions and into a comprehensive support system, thanks to the dedication of our team and the generosity of our supporters.

Over the years, Ballers2Scholars has evolved into a leading organization committed to empowering current and former student-athletes. We have developed a range of programs that address academic support, athletic development, personal branding and content creation, and professional growth. Our partnerships with schools, sports organizations, and community groups have amplified our reach and effectiveness.

We believe that every student-athlete is capable of excelling in life outside of sports. Our approach is built on the principles of mentorship, personalized support, and community collaboration. By focusing on the holistic development of each individual, we aim to unlock their full potential and pave the way for their future success.

Our goal remains steadfast: continue expanding our programs, fostering new partnerships, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of student-athletes. We are excited about the possibilities ahead and are committed to driving positive change in the communities we serve.

Be a part of our journey. Whether through volunteering, partnering with us, or supporting our mission financially, your involvement helps us create lasting impact and transform the lives of student-athletes.
