2025 Riddell Career Boost Program Scholarships
Riddell and AEMA have teamed up again to resume the Career Boost program! As part of the program, Riddell will award three recipients an all-expenses-paid business trip to the annual AEMA convention to aspiring equipment managers. While at the convention, recipients will have valuable networking opportunities, be honored at Riddell’s annual reception, and have their certification exam fees covered. Additionally, each recipient’s program will receive a $1,000 Riddell equipment grant in their name. Scholarships will be awarded to the strongest candidates who meet AEMA’s exam requirements, including those who are diverse, female, and/or need demonstrating. Candidates may work within football or the general sports landscape within an athletic department or organization. The deadline to apply is February 28, 2025.

The purpose of the Athletic Equipment Managers Association (AEMA) is to promote, advance, and improve the Equipment Managers Profession in all of its many phases. One goal is to work as a group to bring about equipment improvements for the greater safety of all participants in sports and recreation. Members of the AEMA enjoy the opportunity to meet fellow equipment managers at convention, share ideas, and learn more efficient techniques to help improve their work place.
