The season of giving may still be a month away, but it hasn’t stopped the Utah Jazz from celebrating early.
Announced Wednesday morning, Utah will be continuing its Utah Jazz Scholars Program, giving away four-year scholarships for every victory achieved throughout the 2021-22 season, including the postseason.
“We believe strongly in the power of education to change lives,” said Ryan and Ashley Smith, owners of the Utah Jazz. “The Utah Jazz Scholars Program reflects our desire to help students from underrepresented groups who have historically received fewer resources and less support. It’s amazing to think about the fact that for every win the Jazz have this season, a student will get to go to college who would not otherwise have had the opportunity.
