I paraphrased this from Paintball 2Xtremes:
The University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., is seeking corporate and individual sponsors to help establish the first college paintball scholarship.
Guidelines for the scholarship will have to fit within the framework of the university's policies regarding giving and earmarking funds for scholarships. Corporate sponsors can submit donations in their business's name, their person name or in the name of someone who has passed on.
"We are very excited about the possibilities of a paintball scholarship coming to Ole Miss," said veteran Ole Miss Rebels Paintball Team member Bryan West, who thinks the scholarship would help the team recruit top students and players from across the country.
It is also possible that a paintball scholarship program could help push the young sport into the mainstream and promote it as an athletic venture. The Ole Miss Rebels Paintball Team was ranked 5th in their region last year and 10th in the nation during the National Collegiate Paintball Association tourment.
Companies and individuals interested in sponsoring the Ole Miss scholarhip can contact David Shaw, faculty/staff adviser for the team (662) 915-5944 or e-mail at davidshaw@Olemisspaitnball.com. Or, contact teh University of Mississippi Foundations Department at (662) 915-5944.
