Our organization is dedicated to the personal and athletic development of young women. While our parent organization, Austin Performance Volleyball, is a competitive volleyball club committed to excellence in both life and sport, our foundation ensures that these opportunities are accessible to all.

We believe the true value of team sports extends far beyond the court—it lies in the character growth fostered through teamwork, sacrifice, and commitment. These lessons build strong, confident, and resilient individuals who carry those values into every aspect of their lives.

Through our foundation, we provide financial assistance to athletes who might not otherwise have the chance to participate. Our mission is to create opportunities for young women to grow in skill, confidence, and leadership—empowering them both as athletes and as future leaders.

Mission Statement

The Austin Performance Scholarship Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, exists to empower young women by providing the opportunity to play club volleyball regardless of financial circumstance. Through Austin Performance Volleyball, we are committed to cultivating excellence both in life and in sport, giving every athlete the chance to grow in skill, confidence, and leadership.

Our Goals

We believe the true value of athletics extends far beyond the court. Team sports teach lessons of character that last a lifetime—teamwork, self-sacrifice, discipline, and commitment. These qualities build the foundation for young athletes to grow into strong, resilient, and self-reliant individuals.

Our scholarship program ensures that no player is left behind due to financial barriers. By providing financial assistance, we make it possible for talented athletes to access high- level coaching, competition, and the support of a team community that challenges them to achieve their full potential.

Ultimately, our goal is not only to shape exceptional volleyball players, but also to prepare young women for the challenges and opportunities of life beyond sports. We strive to build individuals who carry forward the values of dedication, perseverance, and integrity into their families, careers, and communities-enriching the world around them as leaders, role models, and changemakers.

Current Scholarships

For the 2026 season, 28 athletes are receiving scholarships through the Austin Performance Scholarship Foundation, representing a total of $107,071 in direct financial support.

These scholarships ensure that talented young women have the opportunity to pursue their passion for volleyball without being limited by financial barriers. The Foundation, established in 2025, was created to expand the reach and impact of our financial assistance program. By building a sustainable fund dedicated to supporting families in need, we are able to increase both the number and size of scholarships awarded each year. Our goal is to continue growing this fund so that more athletes can benefit from the life-changing opportunities provided through competitive volleyball- developing their skills, building their confidence, and preparing them for success both on and off the court.
