The boy from Davidson college is now a 3-time NBA champion – Stephen Curry. Now, he wishes to give back to the institution from where it all started for him. Steph and his wife Ayesha Curry have launched a well-thought Curry Family Women’s Athletics Initiative for Davidson’s women athletes. This scholarship fund aims to empower and benefit them in their basketball career.

Stephen Curry spent three years (2006-09) in his early days at Davidson College. During that span, Curry averaged 25.3 points for his team while shooting 41.2% from the three-point line. He also led the Davidson Wildcats to Elite 8 after scoring 33 points in the advancing match. Thereafter, with early success in hand, Steph was named the NCAA scoring leader in his junior year.

Steph and Ayesha have contributed an undisclosed sum to the fund. It aims at the idea of equity in women’s athletics and building opportunities for them. Curry mentioned his intent behind this decision through the message. “The reason I am who I am today is also because of strong and powerful women that have poured into my life all these years. And now as the father to two girls, I want them to grow up without any boundaries on their futures.”
