An independent panel of judges will gather to judge the submissions in May and scholarship recipients will be notified by June 2.

What kind of student-athlete are we looking for? The ultimate example of a scholar-athlete should:
• Play three sports. One is OK, but he/she better be All-Scholastic in that sport. Two is better and more impressive, but three … that’s the jackpot.
• Be captain of those three sports. Our scholar-athlete should be the leader of his/her team.
• Have league honors. Do others think much of this player? A three-time league all-star in a single sport is very impressive. And all-star honors in two different sports is even more impressive.
• Have strong academics. High-class rank, strong SAT scores, difficult courses and headed to college.
• Extracurricular activities both in and out of school. We want the Senior Class President. We want the editor of the yearbook. We want the person who organized an entire team to shovel driveways for the elderly this winter (I know, the storms were limited), or rake leaves last fall. We’re looking for someone with a real commitment to serving their school and outside community.
