Our Mission For The Kolbstrong Scholarship
The Kolbstrong Scholarship was founded in 2021 as our way of giving back to the sport in a more meaningful way.
​
We know the hardships and sacrifices of loving a sport that doesn't pay often, and we know the expenses that go into being the best you can be on and off the platform. We would not be where we are today without the help of so many, and now it's our turn to give back, and help bring up the next big lifter.
​
Our goal for this scholarship is to award young athletes with a check for $1,000 each and a powerlifting goodie box. Our hope is that this money is used to help them buy equipment, pay gym dues, enter meets, pay for travel expenses, etc. so that they can succeed in the world of powerlifting.
​
This scholarship is a community effort and with the help of fellow lifters like you, we can make a difference in the lives of young athletes looking to start their lifting careers. We firmly believe in our motto: Lift Heavy, Be Kind, Give Back and are so appreciative that you are here to do that with us too,

2027 GOALS
Our goal for the 2027 scholarship season is to raise a minimum of $5,000. This will allow us to award 5 young athletes with a check for $1,000 each and a powerlifting goodie box.
​
We know that while powerlifting is an individual sport, none of us would be here without our communities, and we call on this community to help us bring up the next generation of lifters.
Since we started this project in 2021 we have helped 26 young lifters get a stronger financial start in the sport. Every dollar brings us closer to helping one more.
If you donate $100 or more, you will be represented on our Sponsors page with a link to the website of your choice. If you would like to be a sponsor with items for the goodie boxes instead of a monetary donation please fill out this form.
SCHOLARSHIP ATHLETES
Since founding this scholarship in 2021 we have had the pleasure of helping 23 young lifters!
