Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors' star player, has always been committed and passionate about giving back to the society which raised him, alongside his wife, Ayesha Curry. While they already help millions through their charity, the four-time NBA champion has made a new noble move.
Stephen Curry Announces New Scholarship Program
According to a recent press release from Davidson College, Curry's alma mater, the NBA champion is now partnering to launch the Davidson College Curry Scholars Program. This program focuses on providing full scholarships to high-achieving students from underprivileged families in the Bay Area.
Extension of Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation
The partnership is described as a "natural extension" of Stephen and Ayesha Curry's foundation, Eat. Learn. Play., which focuses on providing quality education and nutritious meals to children from underprivileged backgrounds in Oakland. The Davidson College Curry Scholars Program aims to support five to ten students each year with full scholarships, with the first batch scheduled for the fall of next year.
Curry Reflects on His College Experience
In a video clip attached to the press release, Curry explained what motivated him to partner with his alma mater. He said, "Ayesha and I started our foundation in Oakland seven years ago with the vision of making sure every kid has access to the opportunity and support they deserve in order to reach their full potential. Davidson is really pumped up to be working with high school students in the Bay Area and our friends at College Track to help talented and dedicated students from the Bay Area go to Davidson."
Curry added, "Davidson College is part of who I am, not just as an athlete, but as a family member, a leader, and as someone who cares deeply about this community."
