The Women’s Sports Foundation was founded by Billie Jean King in 1974. WSF published an athletic scholarship guide for women since they only had few opportunities to play at a college level.

Gives high schools and colleges federal funding if they meet these athletic requirements: 1. The high school or college must determine whether male or female students are being provided equitable opportunities to play sports. 2. If athletic scholarships are being provided, they should be provided in direct proportion to the student athlete percentage. 3. The overall benefits provided to male athletes should be similar in quality, quantity, and suitability to the overall benefits provided to female athletes.
