South has two Scholar-Athlete Award Finalists

Grosse Pointe South is proud to share it has two students among the 120 finalists for the Michigan High School Athletic Association's Scholar-Athlete Award for the 2007-08 school year -- Bryan C. and Robert C.

According to the MHSAA press release from January 29, 2008, the program will honor 32 individuals from MHSAA member schools who participate in at least one sport in which the Association sponsors a post-season tournament. Farm Bureau Insurance underwrites the Scholar-Athlete Award, and will present a $1,000 scholarship to each recipient. The release also stated that applications were judged by a 65-member committee of school coaches, counselors, faculty members, administrators and board members from MHSAA member schools, from which the 120 finalists were selected.  The selection of the 32 scholarship recipients will take place in early February.

This year, 1,965 applications were received from 477 schools. It is interesting to note that most of the finalists participated in more than one sport.
