Hard work on and off the field continues to pay off for a former Idaho soccer star.
Kelly Dopke, now in her final semester at the University of Idaho, was awarded a $10,000 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
“This was definitely really important,” Dopke said in a news release. “I was shocked when I got the email in class. I was in disbelief that I actually won the scholarship. It’s a big NCAA scholarship and not many student-athletes get it. It was super humbling, after going through the process and the application and having it all pay off.”
The scholarship is awarded to only 21 male and 21 female fall sport athletes for their success based on athletics, academics, community service and their reputation at the university.
