Miami Dolphins Announce Open Application Nat Moore Scholarship & Grant Endowment Program

MIAMI – The Miami Dolphins announced the open application period for the Nat Moore Scholarship & Grant Endowment Program.

Requirements for the scholarship and grant are below, with further information in the links provided.

The Nat Moore Scholarship and Vocational Endowment is in its second year under the Miami Dolphins Foundation. Last year, five graduating seniors were the first recipients awarded the fund and were selected through an application process that showcased community service, leadership, financial need and academic standing. This initiative aligns with the Miami Dolphins mission of “Teamwork at Work” — an effort to level the playing field through the power of teamwork to inspire a healthier, more educated and united South Florida community.

The Fund is a continuation of the Nat Moore Foundation, which started in 1998 to serve the youth of South Florida through education. The Miami Dolphins Foundation through the Nat Moore Scholarship Fund is committed to raising $10 million in 10 years to fund educational opportunities for South Florida youth. This commitment will foster the next generation of industry and community leaders by providing students who are achieving academically and who give back to their communities with the opportunity to attain their educational goals.
