The Wrestlers in Business Network - Philadelphia Chapter Announces 4th Annual Scholarship Program 

 The Wrestlers In Business Network (WIBN) - Philadelphia Chapter announces its 4th annual scholarship program application process. The scholarship will be awarded to two high school student athletes - one male & one female - who represent the very best of academic, community and athletic achievement. The board will be looking for two well-rounded wrestlers who participate in activities outside of wrestling, exude leadership and maintain high moral standards and character.

We are excited to once again offer a scholarship of $1000.00 per athlete to be used for their next phase in life be it a 4-year college, a 2-year college, technical school, or the military.

The student athletes will be required to apply for the scholarship by writing a letter to the WIBN Board as to why they are deserving of the scholarship and their plans for the future. The scholarship committee will then review all applicants and pass on their top candidates for a full board vote. 

The application process will begin on April 1st with the scholarships to be awarded in July. If you know of any student-athlete worthy of receiving these scholarships, please have them submit the application below. 

Some requirements for the application process will be:
