Thank you USA Water Ski and Wake Sports Foundation for providing many scholarships to help college students that are involved in water sports."
The USA Water Ski & Wake Sports Foundation scholarships are awarded each year to water skiers who show leadership abilities and demonstrate that involvement in the sport has helped them grow both personally and academically.
The Jennifer Odom/David Kammerer Memorial Scholarship was established in 2008.

David Kammerer of Excelsior, Minnesota was a former Mens 2 National Overall Champion and “old school” barefooter. He died in a plane crash in July of 2007.
