Investing in the Next Generation of Athletes

Each year, MAAC and its sponsors provide financial support to student-athletes across Western North Carolina—recognizing excellence both on and off the field.

The Mountain Amateur Athletic Club, alongside its partners, is proud to support deserving student-athletes through annual scholarships that help continue both academic and athletic pursuits.
