Less than 15% of minor league baseball players have a college degree. We're going to change that.
Each year, nearly 1,000 minor league baseball players will walk away from baseball for good. With little work experience and minimal educational background, many of these players have nowhere to turn after their careers. More Than Baseball has received requests from over 100 former minor league players for support in continuing their education. In response to this need, we are launching a scholarship program to support these athletes continuing their journeys.
The More Than Baseball MiLB Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships to deserving players across baseball to continue their education and pursue their dreams both on and off the field.
