Clone of 2025 KOLBSTRONG SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORM

KOLBSTRONG SCHOLARSHIP

FOR YOUNG POWERLIFTERS
Our goal for this scholarship is to award young athletes with a check for $1,000 each and a powerlifting goodie box. Our hope is that this money is used to help you buy equipment, pay gym dues, enter meets, pay for travel expenses, etc. so that you can succeed in the world of powerlifting.

We know the hardships and sacrifices of loving a sport that doesn't pay often, and we know the expenses that go into being the best you can be on and off the platform. We would not be where we are today without the help of so many, and now it's our turn to give back, and help bring up the next big lifter.
DEADLINE MARCH 1, 2026

SPECIAL NOTE - THIS APPLICATION WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETED IN ONE SESSION. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAVE WORK AND COMPLETE LATER. BEFORE YOU START, PLEASE HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION READY TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION.
