FF Scholarship

Scholarship

Each year we award a graduating High School Senior with a $500 Scholarship. The recipient must plan on running Cross Country in Secondary Education. The athlete is nominated by their coach based on various criteria, one of which is:

"If your entire team were made up of this athlete, your job as a coach would be much easier"

In addition, the athlete had to be in good academic standing, a team player, planning on attending secondary education and running Cross Country in secondary education. Also, this athlete need not be the best on the team, but the one with potential.
