About the scholarship

The Charles B. Staats Memorial Foundation (CBSMF) Scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating high school senior, who is also a swim coach.   The Scholarship is open to any student in the US who meets the criteria. The CBSMF Scholarship was specifically created to honor the love of coaching and acknowledge the importance of coaching in a swimmer's life.  CBSMF believes that the focus, dedication and hard work required by coaching translates to focus, dedication and success in other areas of life. 

The scholarship will be awarded to a well rounded student who cares about academics and shows leadership in the community.  Most of all, we want a student who loves being a swim coach.  

The CBSMF Scholarship award may be used towards the costs of:  tuition, books, room and board and mandatory school fees.  The Scholarship will be eligible for renewal each year in the same amount awarded in year 1, for up to a maximum of 4 years, contingent upon the student meeting the Board's annual conditions as outlined in the executed Annual Scholarship Agreement with student.  The anticipated award for 2024 will be $3,000.00 per year.*
