We want to keep Connor's spirit alive and one of the ways for us was to create a scholarship fund.  The purpose is to provide sponsorship to young athletes who are competing on the national level and need some financial support to be able to compete at  a specific national race or meet.  Male or Female- any sport!  I will post once we are "OPEN" for sponsorship opportunities.

2008 Scholarship is now Open

2008 SSHS Seniors  $767 Sponsorship available!
Our first year out, we would like to offer a small sponsorship to a graduating senior.

Application deadline is August 1, 2008.
Awarded August 15, 2008.

Open to any senior who has competed while in high school and will continue to do so after graduation.
ANY SPORT!-FROM ROWING TO RACING!!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE TO GET THIS!

Write Andrea and myself a letter and answer this question:
"What competition means to me and how has it helped me in life?"
The purpose of this sponsorship is to help out with costs associated with competing.
I know it gets more expensive as you get older!
