The National Scholarship Invitational and The National Multi Event Championships for The Decathlon and The Heptathlon are proud to announce their return to IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL for year two of the Groundbreaking event!! 

In year one, The NSI hosted over 300 athletes with over 20 College Coaches on site. The event was a resounding success! The event helped 23 student athletes find university homes and over $700,000 in Athletic scholarships were awarded over the course of the weekend.
