BOULDER — The University of Colorado athletic department announced Wednesday that it has created the Colorado Athletics Visibility Award (CAVA), a scholarship program that is the first of its kind in collegiate athletics.
The purpose of this scholarship is to create a community of collegiate scholar-athletes who have a desire to use their platform, power, and visibility in their role as athletes to advance LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport.
Currently, CAVA will be a $20,000 tuition scholarship at CU Boulder, with two new recipients to be awarded annually based on their project proposals that seek to advance inclusion, rights representation and safety for LGBTQ+ participants in sports.
