Greg Zelden Scholarship
Purpose
Greg Zelden had a great passion for high school sports and the health of students that played them. He spent thousands of volunteer hours on the sidelines at games as Greg believed in the power and importance of having trained professionals nearby. The Greg Zelden Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Greg to honor his life, create a legacy and to support students seeking a career in Allied Health and/or Sports Medicine. The goal of this scholarship is to increase the number of trained professionals available on the sidelines in the future.
