One of the greatest achievements an athlete can receive in their career is a scholarship. Something that reassures them they’ve put in the hard work and it’s going to pay off.

Some of these moments are too good not to share in a social media video. Football Scoop has compiled various heartwarming stories of athletes who have received a scholarship and shared them using #ScholarshipAlert.

Here are some stories and moments they shared via social media.
