GSC Awards Four Degree Completion Grants
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the second straight year, the Gulf South Conference is proud to award multiple degree completion grants to financially support student-athletes in their efforts to reach graduation.
This year, the GSC awarded $12,000 in total financial aid to four former student-athletes: Caroline Freiling (Lee), Baylee Johnson (Alabama Huntsville), Marcus Lytle (Mississippi College), and Miguel Pimentel (Lee).
"In the Gulf South Conference, we compete, we graduate, and we impact," said Commissioner Matt Wilson. "Awarding these degree completion grants reflect our desire for student-athletes to reach graduation. It is very exciting to be helping four fantastic representatives of the GSC with that goal. I’m thankful for the resources from the NCAA and A-E-B Wealth Management Group that makes this possible."
The degree completion grants are an integral part of the league’s most recent strategic plan and are made possible through funding from the NCAA Foundation of the Future program and generous support from A-E-B Wealth Management Group of Raymond James.
