The AAU Karate Scholarship was first introduced to AAU Karate Members at the 2004 AAU Karate National Championships which was held in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Over the past six (6) years, we have had the opportunity to give the scholarship to many deserving individuals. Will you be the next recipient?
