Success Stories

See Your Impact in Action.

In 2018, Ethan McVeigh, a promising talent, received the US Rugby Foundation's Kevin Higgins College Scholarship. Fast forward to 2025, and his dedication, fueled by that early support, has landed him in the USA Rugby Men's Eagles Pool. Ethan's story powerfully illustrates how foundational programs like the College Scholarships nurture the next generation of American rugby star.

Kevin Higgins Scholarship Recipient

Since 2022, the US Rugby Foundation has proudly supported Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) with $10,000, fueling their robust mission to engage youth in rugby. MICR's impactful programming is actively developing top-tier student-athletes, a testament to which is scholarship recipients like Erron Hubbard (Kaler Family Scholarship), who helped win the Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference in 2022, and Jayla Hampton (Higgins Scholarship).

The Foundation helped me fundraise for a trip to Ireland where I was able to challenge myself. The Shanagher-Morrison Referee Development Fund matched the grant, which would never have happened without the Foundation.

We are excited to bring our tent with us to all of our tournaments this upcoming season around the US. This will be a great hub for our teams, coaches, and parents to gather in between games, stay out of the sun, and hydrate!
