The Utah Jazz basketball team is getting ready for the playoffs.
With a few days off, the team did something special that touched the lives of 30 high school students, awarding them full-ride, four-year college scholarships.
Hundreds of students applied and there was a special focus on kids who needed a financial boost to make college happen. The scholarships could really have a life-changing impact, as 90% of the awards went to first-generation college students.
And everything was made even more special as players on the team — such as Donovan Mitchel and Joe Ingles — were the ones contacting the students to share the good news. (NBA)
