Most of the guys on the team with scholarships come from similar backgrounds as I, from the city, and you don’t want to be there. You’d rather be in school learning. Coach Fuente does a great job of letting us know where our scholarship comes from, so everyone is appreciative of the people who give for it.” Tyree Rodgers Redshirt Sophomore, Camden, New Jersey “I’m very appreciative of not having to pay for my education. Without my scholarship here, I quite honestly don’t know where I’d be right now school-wise, and I’d probably be working a regular job somewhere, so having this scholarship for the past six years now has been a blessing. I’m about to get my second degree, and that’s all been paid for. I didn’t have to pay a penny for that. So that’s pretty special.” Kyle Chung Redshirt Senior, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE
