Retired NBA Players to Enroll in Kaplan University
Five retired NBA players are receiving scholarships to attend Kaplan University and study online to earn certificates, bachelor's or master's degrees.
The players -- Adonal Foyle, Joe Smith, James Donaldson, Kevin Loder and Eldridge Recasner -- received the scholarships during the National Basketball Retired Players Association annual conference in Las Vegas.
"Like most Kaplan University students, retired athletes are juggling a lot of competing responsibilities. They're older, raising families and also want to make a lasting difference not just in their own lives, but in the larger community," said Craig Collins, senior vice president of Kaplan University Corporate Development, in a news release. "So a university like Kaplan, which today is helping some 41,000 adult learners pursue their education and career goals, fits into their playbook, because of its convenience."
