KENT- Many Kent State University student-athletes will qualify for additional preparation for success after graduation under a benefits program slated to launch in fall 2023.
The Ready FLASH (For Life After Sport Holistically) program, announced today by Kent State Director of Athletics Randale L. Richmond, follows the 2021 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that opened the door for colleges and universities to offer education-related benefits on top of scholarships. Richmond noted that the Ready FLASH program will help student-athletes to be successful as they transition into life after sports.
"Kent State puts students first, and this program will inspire retention and degree completion," Richmond said.
