Ultimate Equity Scholarship

Cate Roscoe created this fund in 2008 with money left by her father Stanley "Neb" Roscoe to originally provide two scholarships inspired by two of her first students. In 2020, these scholarships were commuted into the Ultimate Equity Scholarship with the intent of supporting and empowering increased diversity and equity in the sport of Ultimate (often called Ultimate Frisbee). As a teacher and a member of marginalized communities, Cate has always been committed to decolonizing education and dismantling the white supremacist patriarchy. However, as a 20+ year veteran of elite club and professional Ultimate, she recognized her blindness to the inequities in her majority white sport, resulting in the creation of the Ultimate Equity Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to incoming and returning college Ultimate players from underrepresented, marginalized groups, and to those who are active in equity activism. (2008)
