The Drift Wellness Scholarship
At Drift Wellness, we believe that athletics have the power to shape character, build resilience, and create future leaders. That's why we established the Drift Wellness Scholarship—to recognize and support East Hampton High School student-athletes who make a positive impact both on and off the field.
As a student-athlete himself, Drift Wellness co-founder Brady Yusko was fortunate to receive scholarships that helped make his college education possible. Those opportunities not only eased the financial burden of higher education but also reinforced the value of hard work, dedication, and community support. Through the Drift Wellness Scholarship, Brady hopes to pay that forward by investing in the next generation of East Hampton student-athletes.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating East Hampton High School senior who demonstrates excellence both on and off the field. While athletic achievement is an important component, the scholarship places equal emphasis on character, sportsmanship, resilience, leadership, and service to others.
While athletic achievement is certainly recognized, the Drift Wellness Scholarship is about much more than wins and statistics. It celebrates students who lead by example, uplift their teammates, contribute to their communities, and demonstrate the integrity to become someone others can count on.
Applicants are evaluated based on their involvement in athletics, commitment to community service, leadership experiences, perseverance through adversity, and positive impact on those around them.
Preference is given to applicants who demonstrate:
Strong involvement in community service
Athletic participation and teamwork
Leadership and mentorship
Perseverance through adversity
Positive impact on peers, teammates, and the community
Strong moral character and dependability
Additional consideration may be given to students who:
Have completed 100+ hours of community service as part of the Century Club
Have earned at least two varsity letters during their junior and senior years
Demonstrate excellence in character both on and off the field
Through this scholarship, Drift Wellness is proud to support student-athletes who represent the very best of the East Hampton community and to help create opportunities for future generations to pursue their goals.
A portion of proceeds from Drift Wellness merchandise, events and community initiatives helps fund the Drift Wellness Scholarship.
