The partnership aims to expand access to education and athletic development for promising student-athletes starting AY 2026-2027.
For A Bright Future Foundation ("FABF," "For A Bright Future") and Dragons Academy are expanding their partnership to create new educational opportunities for student-athletes through a dedicated scholarship initiative launching this academic year.
Through the partnership, 100 scholarships will be made available to the first 100 eligible student-athletes who enroll, with priority initially given to athletes participating in Dragons Elite Athletics (“Dragons Elite”) programs. Following that initial priority period, the opportunity will open to other eligible athletes and members within the Dragons community.
The scholarships will be administered through For A Bright Future Foundation, which has established a dedicated scholarship committee to oversee the program beginning with the 2026–27 academic year. The committee will help administer the scholarship process and ensure that eligible students have access to the support available through the initiative.
The partnership builds on FABF’s broader mission of removing financial barriers and creating pathways for young people to achieve their academic, athletic, and professional goals. Through its existing relationship with Dragons Academy and Dragons Elite Athletics, the Foundation supports opportunities that bring together education, athletics, leadership, and personal development.
For Dragons Academy students and Dragons Elite athletes, these new scholarship opportunities represent an important step toward making high-quality educational and athletic experiences more accessible. Rather than allowing financial limitations to determine which students can pursue these opportunities, the partnership is designed to help ensure that talented and motivated young people have a pathway forward.
For A Bright Future believes that every child deserves access to the opportunities, education, and support needed to reach their full potential. Founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Louis Hernandez Jr., the Foundation focuses on creating pathways to success through scholarships, educational programs, leadership initiatives, and career-focused opportunities.
The initiative also reflects the shared philosophy of FABF, Dragons Academy, and Dragons Elite Athletics that student development extends beyond the classroom. Through this partnership, students can benefit from an environment that connects academic achievement with athletic development, leadership, and personal growth.
With a limited number of scholarships available, families who want to learn more should explore the opportunity as early as possible. The initial priority for Dragons Elite athletes underscores the partnership’s commitment to supporting student-athletes while creating a broader pathway for members of the Dragons community.
Together, FABF, Dragons Academy, and Dragons Elite Athletics are working to create greater access to opportunities that can shape a student's future—helping ensure that talent, determination, and potential have the opportunity to thrive.
