Sports Scholarships USA Foundation

Sports Scholarships USA Foundation, inc., was developed because of  Clara Marcella Tate, a mother of five children and a foster mother to seventy five additional children. Clara graciously opened her heart and her home to help children in need. Clara’s values revolve around family, the arts and sports; with only a high school degree she understood how important it is for young men and women to continue their education.

Sports Scholarships USA Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) corporation; the management team of SSUSAF, consists of a group of business professionals who awards student athletes, artists or performing artists with funds for college education use. We believe there is a thread between athletes and artists.  Both have a desire to compete and perform at their peak to be successful.  SSUSAF expectations are high and challenging, but attainable. Your generous tax deductible donation will help these outstanding students achieve their educational, athletic or artistic goals.
