The Bay Area All-Star Scholarship Team Program was formed in 1996 and is a partnership between the Golden State Warriors, Bay FC, San Francisco Giants, San Jose Earthquakes and the San Jose Sharks. The Bay Area All-Star Scholarships will be awarded to five successful students residing within the Bay Area’s nine counties. Each award recipient will receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 and will be recognized at team ceremonies.
