Cobra Scholarship Program
Changing Lives Through Jiu-Jitsu
The Cobra Youth Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting kids in our community. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we give underserved youth the chance to grow stronger, more confident, and more disciplined—while gaining life skills and mentorship that last a lifetime.
Proudly serving kids in Plano, TX and the North Dallas community
What We Do
We transform lives by opening doors that poverty often closes. Many of the students we serve cannot afford after-school programs or sports, leaving them without safe and structured opportunities to grow. With your support, the Cobra Youth Scholarship Foundation removes financial barriers and gives them a path to confidence, discipline, and resilience through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
How your support makes this possible:

Community
A team that feels like family
Your generosity doesn't just fund classes—it builds futures.
Where We Serve
We serve students throughout the North Dallas area, with training taking place in Plano, TX in partnership with Cobra BJJ, a professional martial arts academy.
Cobra BJJ provides world-class instruction in a safe, supportive environment where students learn respect, discipline, and perseverance alongside technical martial arts skills.
Who Qualifies
Scholarships are awarded to youth and young adults ages 4-26 living in the North Dallas area, with priority given to:
- Low-income households facing financial barriers to extracurricular activities
- Single-parent families seeking positive mentorship and structure for their children
- Youth facing challenging circumstances who would benefit from a supportive community
- Students committed to growth in both martial arts and personal development
We believe every child deserves access to quality mentorship and the life-changing benefits of martial arts training, regardless of their family's financial situation.
