College Scholarships
We award up to $10,000 each year to college-bound high school seniors who play soccer in Northern Kentucky and show strong character in the classroom and the community.
Honoring a young athlete by lifting up the next generation.
The Scott Christian Memorial Soccer Foundation improves the quality of soccer in the Northern Kentucky community through financial support of local soccer programs and educational scholarships for deserving student-athletes.

In Memory of Scott Christian
A trailblazer on the field and in life.
Scott Christian (1977–1992) fell in love with soccer at age five and never looked back, earning a place on select and Olympic Development teams, starring for the Boone County Rebels, and traveling to Holland as a U.S. Youth Soccer All-Star ambassador, where he scored eighteen goals in ten matches.
More than his talent, Scott is remembered for his character: a young man who credited his gifts to his faith, his family, and his community. This foundation carries that spirit forward.

Each year we award college scholarships to Northern Kentucky high school seniors who play soccer, maintain their grades, and give back to their community, regardless of race, creed, nationality, sexual orientation, or religion.
