The Bailey Family Postgraduate Scholarship

The Bailey Family Postgraduate Scholarship was established by Mark and Laura Bailey, both lifelong scholar-athletes, as part of their family's efforts to give back and honor the scholar athlete tradition. The scholarship provides recognition and support to young scholar athletes who are working hard to improve their lives, pursuing higher education, and who over time will make a positive impact as future leaders in society and in the world. This scholarship is specifically for graduating seniors on the Princeton University varsity football team who intend to continue their studies and best exemplify the values and community of Princeton Athletics and University. The committee looks for students with academic and athletic excellence, qualities such as courage, leadership and character, accompanied by volunteer and work accomplishments. The Baileys hope that the scholarship inspires recipients to find their own ways of giving back over the course of their lives and that recipients will touch the lives of many people beyond Princeton football. Recipients are expected to apply the lessons learned at Princeton in their post-college lives as they lead and inspire others in their chosen fields and in their communities.
