Marsha Grant-Ford Scholarship

Support the Marsha Grant-Ford Scholarship and help uplift women of color in the athletic training industry.

Named after trailblazing educator and clinician Dr. Marsha Grant-Ford, this scholarship honors a woman who has dedicated over 30 years to advancing diversity and inclusion in athletic training. As a pioneering advocate for cultural competency and mentorship, Dr. Grant-Ford has shaped countless careers while breaking barriers as one of the few women of color in leadership positions within our profession.

Dr. Grant-Ford’s distinguished career includes serving as an Olympic athletic trainer, NATA Hall of Fame nominee, and respected professor who has trained hundreds of future athletic trainers. Her unwavering commitment to creating opportunities for underrepresented groups makes her the perfect namesake for this scholarship program.

This scholarship provides financial assistance for BOC certification and related expenses, helping future athletic trainers take the next step in their careers.

By supporting the Marsha Grant-Ford Scholarship, you’re continuing Dr. Grant-Ford’s legacy of empowerment and ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent talented women of color from entering our field. Each scholarship recipient represents the next generation of diverse leaders who will transform athletic training.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support the next generation of female athletic trainers.
