Logan Boss Awarded NCAA Women’s Enhancement Graduate Scholarship
May 07, 2018 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State's school record holder in the high jump and the 2018 SEC indoor high jump champion, Logan Boss, has been awarded one of 13 Women's Enhancement graduate scholarships by the NCAA.
The NCAA awards $7,500 to 13 ethnic minorities and female college graduates entering their first year of graduate studies each year. Applicants must be pursuing a degree that will help them toward a career in intercollegiate athletics administration, coaching, athletic training or some other direct service to intercollegiate athletics.
Student-athletes must be in their final season of athletic eligibility or have exhausted their eligibility and boast a GPA of 3.2 or higher.
"We are extremely proud of Logan and excited to have her back next season," head coach Steve Dudley said. "She's been a key part of our program and represents everything it means to be a Bulldog at Mississippi State. This is a huge honor for her as one of only 13 women to receive this award, and she is very deserving."
Boss graduated with her degree in kinesiology with a concentration in clinical exercise physiology last week. She completed her degree with a 3.84 GPA and twice earned MSU's Frances H. Newsom award which is given to the scholar-athlete of the year for each team on campus. Boss was named to the Bulldog Honor Roll every semester of her career.
The three-time member of the SEC Honor Roll and three-time All-American redshirted her senior outdoor season. She will return for a final year of competition in the 2019 outdoor campaign while pursuing her graduate degree in business administration.
"I intend to get my nursing degree and somehow work with a team doctor for some kind of athletics team," Boss said. "I eventually want to become a nurse practitioner and own my own clinic, which is where the master's comes into play. An MBA can help if I do end up opening my own practice one day."
As part of her award, Boss will also attend the NCAA Career in Sports Forum in Indianapolis on May 31-June 3. The four-day program brings 200 student-athletes together to explore potential careers in sports, especially in collegiate athletics. Track and field alum Charles Taylor was selected to attend the forum last year the week before his final time competing at the NCAA Championships.
