LGT GRIDIRON GRANT

A FULL UK HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY

The NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, the only NFL team committed to playing in London annually, and Official UK Founding Partner LGT Wealth Management US have created a unique new university scholarship opportunity, the Gridiron Grant. This is a first of its kind sports scholarship programme in the UK, offering a full university tuition scholarship to two students (male/female/non binary) to any UK university or vocational programme of their choice.

The ethos of giving back to the community is entrenched within both LGT and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Both see the Gridiron Grant as the perfect opportunity to give something back to the American football community within the UK and to further its progression as a sport. This is one of a number of ways both are investing in grassroots American football, more information on other initiatives such as Reward Rows and JagTag can be found on the grassroots page. Please email if you have any questions.
