INDIANAPOLIS – Senior Brooke Wales Granstrom of the National Champion University of Colorado Ski Team has been awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship as she looks to continue her education following her graduation this coming December.
Created in 1964, NCAA postgraduate scholarships promote and encourage education by rewarding the Association's most accomplished student-athletes. The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually from its base of more than 460,000 student-athletes from more than 1,100 schools nationwide.
“I didn’t really realize how big of a deal it was, I got the e-mail from the NCAA and forwarded it to Chris (Howlett, her academic coordinator) right away,” Granstrom said.
