Allan “Bud” Selig Scholars Program
Major League Baseball’s Commissioner Emeritus Allan “Bud” Selig brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Sports Law and Business program as the distinguished professor of sports in America. Each year, Commissioner Selig shares his life and achievements with our students, faculty and the entire ASU community. Commissioner Selig revolutionized professional team sports with a uniquely cooperative method of rule, advocating and implementing global change in the areas of diversity, community outreach, revenue sharing and the economics of professional sports, labor relations, and more. Our students are lucky to benefit from his guidance and expertise.
Commissioner Selig and the SLB Program select one MSLB candidate and one JD candidate each academic year to be awarded the Allan “Bud” Selig Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to candidates in his honor who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement and true passion for the societal impact of sports.
Selig Scholarship recipients will be awarded $5,000, to be received in equal installments each semester. Recipients will be required to complete student research as part of the scholarship. Students will work with the SLB team and Commissioner Selig to fulfill this research work requirement – a unique networking opportunity that will give them a leg up in the sports industry.
