Cat Zingano has experienced her share of obstacles in life, and she’s hoping she can lend a hand for those who are going through similar situations. The Bellator women’s featherweight fighter set up a $10,000 scholarship through Bold.org , a platform “committed to fighting student debt through philanthropy.” The scholarship will be awarded to a student who is fighting through the loss of a loved one and is in need of financial support for their education as they move forward.
