2012-2013 Program Year Announcement
September 13, 2012
Welcome back to school, mates! We are fresh off an incredibly successful 2011-2012 Discus Awards program during which we awarded more than $5 million in scholarships to well-rounded high school students. We also added a new type of scholarship - network scholarships - to the open scholarships we were already awarding.
Our 2012-2013 program promises to be another great one, and we hope to award even more scholarships than we did last year. However, we are making some changes to our program and need a little more time to implement them for the '12-'13 program year. As a result, please note the following changes:
1) Responding to feedback from previous Discus Award winners, we are changing the levels of recognition we award:
a) Discus Awards Finalists will be all-around students who demonstrate outstanding achievements in each of their three Discus attributes
b) Honorable Mention Candidates will be well-rounded students who have demonstrated characteristics that indicate progress on a path to becoming an all-around student
b) Honorable Mention Candidates will be well-rounded students who have demonstrated characteristics that indicate progress on a path to becoming an all-around student
2) We will be awarding our program's network scholarships quarterly. Students must still be awarded some level of recognition to be eligible for network scholarships.
3) We will be awarding our ten $2,000 National All-Around Student Scholarships on two dates. Our first five NAAS Scholarship recipients will be announced on January 31st, and our last five will be announced on June 30th
