MOSCOW, Idaho – Former soccer student-athlete, Kelly Dopke, continues to bring in the accolades and has been named one of the recipients of the 2018-19 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
"This was definitely really important," Dopke said. "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.
"And all these four years, where I thought that being a student-athlete might hinder me because I wouldn't be able to do other things that other medical school applicants might have done, it ended up being one of the biggest things that helped me.
