Scholar Athlete Of The Week - WDEF

News 12 showcases outstanding scholar-athletes from the Tennessee Valley every week during the school year. High school seniors who exhibit exemplary character in academics and athletics can be nominated for this recognition. Each weekend, a selected student athlete will be honored on High School Football Overtime, enhancing visibility for their achievements. At the end of the school year, one of the weekly honorees will be awarded a scholarship to support their college education. This scholarship can cover costs such as books, tuition, and fees, promoting academic excellence alongside athletic performance.

The initiative encourages students to strive for success in both areas, fostering a culture of achievement in the community. Nominations can be submitted via a designated form, allowing the community to participate in recognizing these talented individuals.
