Program Basics

USAR Intercollegiate Program

The USAR Intercollegiate program is designed to aid in the development of intercollegiate and intramural racquetball programs. State, regional and national competitions are offered for undergraduate competitors, with a position on the U.S. National Racquetball Team available for eligible gold division singles winners of the annual National Intercollegiate Championships held each spring. The program has grown to include over 60 colleges and universities which field a team to the National Championships.

Scholarship Program

Graduating high school seniors and college undergraduates can apply for competitive USAR scholarships each year (by the deadline of June 15). Funding for the program is underwritten by USAR members, the National Masters Racquetball Association and the Women's Senior Masters Racquetball Association through tax deductible donations to the scholarship fund.
Since the program's inception a total of 71 awards -- totalling $37,250.00 -- have been awarded to aspiring collegiate athletes.
Applicants must be current USAR members at the time of applying for consideration of an award. All applications received by the deadline are reviewed by the scholarship committee, which is comprised of current members of the USAR Board of Directors. Annual awards are disbursed in the Fall of the application year. You may download the application online or contact the USAR for more information.
