GC SCHOLARSHIP + PRO SPORTS EXPERIENCE

Students in the Game Changers organization who attain a cumulative 3.0 minimum GPA and 35 hours of community service during the current school year (as well as obtain high marks in the other areas of their academic and social portfolio) have the distinct honor to be put in the running for a scholarship and an expenses-paid trip to a Pro Sports Experience AND/OR our separate Health and Wellness scholarship.

These scholarship opportunities are meant to showcase possible professional paths (academic or experiential) for student-athletes who may be considering a career affiliated with sports. The experience has included viewing USC, UCLA, museums, recording studios, YouTube, Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, and dining at infamous Los Angeles eateries (such as In and Out Burger and Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles) on the West Coast, to front office talks with C-Suite Executives at the New York Yankees and New York Giants with a tour of iconic places in the City of New York! Whatever the exposure, we always add to the student’s experience. No year is quite the same!

Game Changers has recently partnered with the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation to further support our student athletes who are pursuing a degree program in the lane of health and wellness. These programs i.e. Sports Medicine, Sports Therapy, Exercise Science, etc. have proven to add valuable support to athletes and non-athletes alike, in the marketplace.

At Game Changers, we require more than the minimum when it comes to student excellence. That said, we seek to create experiences and build partnerships that will enrich the lives of our student athletes and sports enthusiasts.

Phil Annarella, Jr. Legacy Scholarship and PRO Sports Experience

On September 6, 2019 Game Changers changed its annual scholarship in memory of Phil Annarella, Jr., affectionately known as Coach Annarella, for his dedication to student athletes across the United States. The weight of his legacy continues to live on through those of us who he championed and mentored on this side of Heaven.

Game Changers is choosing to memorialize Coach Phil Annarella in the fabric of the organization by naming our annual scholarship in his honor. Only to be considered of renaming by an equal or greater recognition within the organization. Until then, Game Changers presents: The Phil Annarella, Jr. Legacy Scholarship.

(Subtext) This scholarship is awarded to individual(s) who in-spite of wins or adversities, exemplifies character, great work ethic, and a determination to never throw in the towel for the people and goals that they are most passionate about!
