Scholarship Value: $2,000

Awards Available: 12

Award Deadline: Jun 30, 2025


Realizing youth are our most important resources, Babe Ruth League is committed to providing our participants with the very best educational sports, experience possible and to providing them with tools to enrich their lives long after their days on the baseball and softball diamond.

This is one of the main reasons Babe Ruth League established a College Scholarship Program in 2001 to provide financial assistance to former Cal Ripken Baseball, Babe Ruth Baseball and Babe Ruth Softball Players looking to further their education beyond high school.  And since each year we are overwhelmed by the many applications received and with the incredible accomplishments of each applicant, we continue to look for avenues by which to generate funds for additional scholarship programs.  One such program is the Irby Luquette Endowment Scholarship, established in 2014 by Luquette’s son, Gary Luquette.

BABE RUTH LEAGUE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP

As college costs are a major challenge for most families, in 2001, Babe Ruth League established a College Scholarship program to provide financial assistance to former Cal Ripken Baseball, Babe Ruth Baseball and Babe Ruth Softball players looking to further their education beyond high school.

Funds for the Babe Ruth League College Scholarship are generated from the annual Babe Ruth League Alumni Golf Outing, along with donations from Babe Ruth League partners K&K Insurance and Rawlings Sporting Goods.

In order to be considered for a Babe Ruth League College Scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must have participated in a Cal Ripken Baseball, Babe Ruth Baseball or Babe Ruth Softball League anytime during the ages of 4-18.
  • You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
  • You must be a high school senior or an enrolled college student at the time of application.
  • You must be enrolled at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university.
  • You must complete an application to be submitted to Babe Ruth League, along with a copy of your official high school transcript, 200-word essay, and verification of registration at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university, by June 30 of each year. (If verification of college enrollment is not available at the time of application submission and you are selected to receive a scholarship, such verification will be required before a check is issued. Accepted forms of verification include a tuition bill or semester schedule.)

Babe Ruth League College Scholarships are awarded based on an applicant’s high school academic achievement, participating activities, community involvement and on the contents of the essay. The Babe Ruth League College Scholarship is a one-time award and cannot be combined with any other Babe Ruth League-sponsored scholarship. The awarding of a Babe Ruth League College Scholarship is not dependent upon collegiate athletic participation.
