Compete with Class Sportsmanship Scholarships
The NMAA needs your help identifying acts of excellent sportsmanship! Athletic directors, coaches, and school administrators are encouraged to share with the NMAA stories of students exhibiting outstanding sportsmanship and competing with class.
Each year the NMAA Foundation offers several Compete with Class Sportsmanship Scholarships. The recipients are selected from a pool of stories shared with the NMAA of students who exemplify the three pillars of the Compete with Class sportsmanship initiative: Respect, Integrity, and Responsibility.
If you have a story to share of a student competing with class, email it to julie@nmact.org or jp@nmact.org.
