Scholarship Opportunity for Seniors

 This email is a reminder, and a clarification, regarding the UIAAA scholarship program.  The UIAAA is asking that you forward this information to all interested at your school.  This would include all councilors, coaches and especially, senior athletes.  There is no limit per school pertaining to the number of athletes that may apply.  

     The minimum requirements that must be attained in order to apply for the scholarship are found below.  Notice the different set of criteria, one for the NIAAA and another for the UIAAA.  The UIAAA will select 5 students to receive $1,000 scholarships.  The top ranked male and female will be forwarded to the NIAAA for consideration.  The links are -
