Congratulations to all of the 77 scholar athletes

2024 Scholar Athlete Awards

These scholar-athletes, representing football-playing high schools in the Baltimore metropolitan area, are selected by their respective schools primarily for their ability on the football field and in the classroom. Other factors taken into consideration include extracurricular activities, leadership, and community and church activities.

Every football-playing high school in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford, Howard, Carroll and Frederick Counties is invited to submit a nominee who best fits the aforementioned qualifications. The Chapter’s selection committee, after careful consideration of each athlete’s qualifications, will choose one individual from our five regions, who will each receive $4,000 in scholarship support for his college education.

Winners were announced at the banquet on March 20, 2024.
