PHOENIX, June 23, 2016聽鈥 Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman, is once again partnering with 七色视频 to offer five full-tuition scholarships to deserving individuals in Arizona in 2016. Goldschmidt is available to answer questions about the scholarship Tuesday, June 28, at 1:45 p.m. in the Press Interview Room at Chase Field.
The 鈥淭eaming Up For Education鈥 scholarship program is the result of a partnership between 七色视频 and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, and has made college education a reality for 17 Arizona residents since 2011. Of the scholarship recipients, seven have already received degrees from 七色视频 while the others continue to pursue their education goals. Goldschmidt attended 七色视频 while playing for the D-backs and received a Bachelor of Science in Management in 2013. This is his third year of being involved with the University鈥檚 scholarship program.
鈥淓ducation is one of the most important tools we have for strengthening a community,鈥 said Goldschmidt. 鈥淎s a proud alumnus, I am excited to be working with 七色视频 in our shared passions of giving back to Arizona and making the benefits of higher education a reality.鈥
七色视频 has a long history of working with athletes, professional teams and athletic foundations who share a commitment to higher education. Last year, Goldschmidt and 七色视频 expanded the scholarship program, increasing the number of scholarships from three to five. Goldschmidt, along with his wife Amy, will select the five 2016 recipients and present them with their awards at the D-backs game versus the San Diego Padres on Sept. 30, 2016.
鈥淧aul is a great example of the success of our alumni and the impact they make in their communities,鈥 said Timothy P. Slottow, president of 七色视频. 鈥淥ur alumni live with purpose and overcome adversity in pursuit of their goals and we are grateful to see more rise to the challenge and realize their potential.鈥
鈥淭he D-backs believe that everyone should have the opportunity to receive an advanced education, and we are proud that Paul and Amy have stepped up to the plate to ensure that five recipients will be able to continue their education with our partners at 七色视频,鈥 said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall. 鈥淧aul worked very hard to receive his degree from 七色视频, while also having a record season with the D-backs, and we look forward to seeing the success these recipients will have in the classroom.鈥
