Scholarships Unlocking Two Young Athletes' Futures | Manchester News
Description
Two teens from tough backgrounds just got life-changing scholarships to UA92—founded by Gary Neville—to pursue sports careers, with Neville personally surprising them with full tuition coverage. Leighton, 18, raised by grandparents and caring for his autistic brother, is set to begin a two-year Sports Coaching degree. Yasmin, also 18, balances elite shotput competitions with caring for a sick family member while studying Sports Journalism. Both exemplify resilience, and UA92’s “Unlock Your Greatness” program aims to level the playing field by removing financial barriers for high-potential students. Neville praised their grit and emphasized that talent deserves opportunity, no matter the odds.
