ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Academic Achievement Award program began in 2005 acknowledging the academic success and community involvement for football and spirit participants. The NHYFSC hope is to encourage children to strive to do well in school and participate in their community.

Proof of satisfactory progress in school is required by all football players and cheerleaders participating in the NHYFSC. A 70 grade average is the required minimum for participation. In case of doubt or conflict of opinion, an Academic Waiver form, signed by the school administration shall be deemed final.

HOW TO QUALIFY
 

Participants must have a 90% or higher grade average

Participants must have entered the 5th grade or higher for the current season school year.

The grading scale on the report card must be used. If one is not listed, proof of the school's grade conversion scale must be obtained. Alternate grading systems can be used with prior approval from the NHYFSC Academic committee.

Documentation from the school or school district must accompany all academic submissions in the case where proof of grade conversion is necessary
