The Horowitz Scholarship

The George Horowitz Scholarship, named to honor the memory of a former school teacher who became CEO of Everlast, is given each year to an amateur boxer attending or about to attend college.  The Atlas Foundation works in conjunction with the Horowitz Family to assist a student who has benefited from the discipline and good values promoted by boxing and who is looking to further him or herself through higher education.  In this way the scholarship combines two of its namesake’s passions, boxing and education.  $5,000 is awarded annually to be used for tuition, room, board and books.
