TheRafaNadal Foundation launched its first
sports and academic grant programme in
2016: Study and Play. Although the project
had actually started in 2015, the first grants
were awarded in July 2016 in order to help
young Spanish athletes to combine high-
level sports with a university education in
the United States.
Study and Play is carried out in cooperation
with I-Con Sports, a Spanish company
specialised in incorporating athletes into
American universities.
