“We are proud to introduce and offer this Business Development Grant to our membership,” said Scott Rochelle, President & CEO, NBRPA. “Our organizational mission is to serve former professional basketball players and support them in life after their playing days, and this grant, in conjunction with our vast array of player funding services and benefits, allows us to continue providing crucial resources for the advancement of our members’ educational and professional goals.”
Business Development Grant applications will be reviewed quarterly by the NBRPA Member Services & Benefits Committee and will be assessed and awarded based on the merit of the strength of the application and the operations of the potential recipient.
