Ascent Soccer's 10th Global Scholar heads to Boston's Middlesex School
Ascent Soccer is proud to announce that Isaac Zuze Billy has arrived in the United States as our 10th Global Scholar, earning a prestigious opportunity at Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts. An accomplished student, athlete and leader, Isaac will make a major impact with the Zebras' on the pitch, in the classroom and on campus.
In fact, he already added to his highlight reel with this incredible strike and acrobatic celebration in his Middlesex debut. See the video above!
Isaac has distinguished himself as an exceptional all-around student and demonstrates remarkable character traits that set him apart. Over the past three years at Ascent, he has shown unparalleled self-discipline, initiative, integrity, and grit – qualities that made him an easy choice for this transformative opportunity.
"Isaac has consistently gone beyond expectation since arriving at Ascent," said co-founder George Maguire. "His combination of academic excellence and exemplary character, combined with his skill and tenacity on the field, makes him an ideal ambassador for our Global Scholar program."
With Isaac's addition, Ascent Soccer's Global Scholar pathway has now generated over $4 million in scholarship value, providing life-changing educational opportunities for talented Malawian student-athletes – a program connecting promising and deserving youth with world-class educational pathways in North America.
Isaac joins a growing network of Ascent Global Scholars making their mark internationally. Currently, four scholars are excelling in high school settings, including recent addition Daud Major at Milton Academy, while five others are thriving at the university level across institutions in the United States and Canada.
The Global Scholar program reflects Ascent Soccer's commitment to developing not just skilled athletes, but well-rounded individuals prepared for success on the global stage. Isaac's journey from Malawi to Massachusetts exemplifies the power of combining athletic talent with academic excellence and strong character.
