The Major League Soccer regular season still has another three months left, but professional soccer players may already want to consider if their off-season plans include studies at Southern New Hampshire University. The institution on Monday announced an exclusive partnership with the league to offer scholarships for players, internships for students and support for community initiatives to boost youth interest in soccer. On Twitter, SNHU president Paul LeBlanc called the partnership "an emerging dynamic in the higher ed landscape." SNHU previously announced a partnership with health care provider Anthem, one example of a larger trend of colleges partnering with corporations to grow their enrollment and tuition revenue.
