Partners:
The TNSI has established strategic partnerships with The Gately Center, TrackBarn, Timimginc and IL Milesplit. All of these integra lbusinesses have come together to produce "The National Scholarship Invitational" Powered by TrackBarn.
History:
"The National Scholarship Invitational" is an event 7yrs in the making. Back in 2015 inJohnson City, TN, a trial run of the idea was produced titled "The Scholarship Invitational".The production of that trial run out of the mind of Creative Director and Founder Hassaan Stamps and Curator of Cool Kyle Stevenson solidified the need for such an event. "We have always been a big picture kind of thinkers and we just had to be patient and wait for relationships and partnerships to grow organically and genuinely," says Hassaan Stamps. Now that those partnerships are established, everyone affiliated to this event has the same unified vision.
Purpose:
The National Scholarship Invitational is 100% Athlete-Driven; our goal is to provide a Real-time Track and Field Meet that brings together Colleges and Universities with Scholarship money still available for student-athletes still looking for a College or University to call home. We will bring online the 1st ever "College Coaches VIP Area" only accessible for Senior student-athletes, and parents after their last completed event of the Track and Field Meet to accommodate all NCAA Rules and Regulations. In this "College Coaches VIP Area", those seniors will be able to meet with 20+ Current College Coaches physically and access to +50 Coaches Virtually. We will also unveil "Scholarship Invitational Sections" of each event; what this means is, for the 1st time in High School Track and Field Meet History, there will be sections of athletes on the Track or in the Field that are all UNSIGNED! This will create unparalleled excitement and varied story lines, which will keep fans on their feet and the athletes performing above and beyond what they may have thought achievable because of the stakes! Coaches that are watching out of the Coaches VIP Area or virtually through our Live Stream will get to see how these athletes handle the moment. For the Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors that attend the meet they will have the opportunity to get on coaches recruiting boards for the upcoming season. That is why our motto is "Where Dreams and Reality Collide".
Vision:
Amidst the Sea of so many meets in a indoor season; The National Scholarship Invitational Track and Field Championships has carved a very specific niche to serve student athletes interested in competing at various colligate levels of Track and Field; Junior College, NAIA, Division III, Division II and Division I. There are so many amazing universities in the country that provide this opportunity our Core Value is "Access" and our entire purpose is to create, nurture and quantify "Access" to the "Opportunities" for our youth in the sport of Track and Field and Cross Country. By deciding to host our meet in Chicago, IL located approximately 13 miles southeast of downtown Chicago.
