GRR: Nelson College Scholarship
Chuck Gehl had already accepted that he wouldn’t get the Nelson College scholarship.
The Missoula, Montana front-rower had been told he would not be going to New Zealand. But then, suddenly, it all changed. The US Rugby Foundation found funding for a third scholarship recipient, and Geh got the call.
Less than two months remain for the Nelson College scholarship and the three players there are nicely settled in.
For Kolomona Kahanu, this has been a special trip. As the first Polynesian player to be part of the US Rugby Foundation-funded scholarship program, Kahanu, who is from Hawai'i and now lives and plays in Provo, Utah, has found a special experience.
Three American student-athletes are at Nelson College in New Zealand on the US Rugby Foundation-supported scholarship program.
The success of the Nelson College Scholarship program developed through the US Rugby Foundation is pretty evident given that the program has now been expanded to three student-athletes.
There are four weeks left for HS Boys rugby players to apply for the US Rugby Foundation-supported Nelson College Scholarship.
