Continuing Support for Alumni

Students receive support and guidance through their one-on-one relationships with their Alumni Advisors and other staff mentors, scholarships to pursue postsecondary education, assistance in gaining meaningful work experience, and connecting with career networks. Within five years of graduating high school, alumni are on a path to personal success and are motivated to support younger Snider students through a combination of advocacy, volunteering, networking, and giving.

Scholarship Programs

Postsecondary success for Alumni is facilitated primarily through three scholarship programs: Goals + Assists; Game Ready; and Snider Hockey Over Time (SHOT). For Alumni participating in any of the three scholarship programs, advisors provide structured support to ensure a successful transition from secondary to postsecondary education, continued success as a student, and ultimately a timely graduation.

Snider completely transformed who I was as a student, athlete, professional, and as a person and gave me opportunities and a support system that I would have never had without the organization.

My family and I have been involved with Snider for over a decade – and since starting, the Snider community has become a second home for us. Snider completely transformed who I was as a student, athlete, professional, and as a person and gave me opportunities and a support system that I would have never had without the organization. I was given the tools needed for me to start to succeed on my path, and being able to provide that to our upcoming students meant a lot to me. Whether it be an extra ice slot, tutoring, making a travel team, or graduating from college – Snider was there every step of the way, and I wanted to give the same support to our community that is given to me even today. -Victoria Maloney, Alumna

Hear from a student whose life was changed

I truly thank Snider for not only getting me to where I am today, but for helping me see who I will be tomorrow

I’ve played hockey basically since I could walk, and I have been offered support ever since. Because Snider recognized my academics and the importance of education, I was able to transition into a Catholic school when I was entering the third grade, and from that, I have only excelled. Without being able to enter a new school, I would have never played violin and therefore carried it over to high school. I was able to play in the finest institutions of Philadelphia all due to being recognized by Snider and given a new, blooming life of possibilities. Even now I can achieve and explore anything I desire through high school and beyond that, which is a gift of hope for the future that I may not have had without Snider. I truly thank Snider for not only getting me to where I am today, but for helping me see who I will be tomorrow. -Rosabella M., Student

With the help of Snider, I became more than just a product of my environment. I am proud of how I took control of my life.

Snider enhanced my perception of education by teaching me to have the mindset that we are always learning, whether it be at school, on the ice, or elsewhere. This mindset is what encouraged me to pursue higher education, which I didn’t anticipate in high school.

Since high school, I had dreams of attending West Chester University, but I was not initially accepted. Coach Sam encouraged me to attend the Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) after I graduated high school. I excelled at CCP and enjoyed furthering my education. Once I earned my associate’s degree, I was blessed to be awarded the Goals and Assists Scholarship to attend West Chester University, which was a dream come true.

I received the Game Ready Scholarship and the Goals and Assists Scholarship, which allows me to graduate with little to no debt from university. After this semester, I am very proud to say that I will be the first person in my family to graduate from college.

Snider has shown me endless support, from my start with the program in 7th grade through my college education.”
