Discus Scholarship Winners
Discus Awards winners are students with noteworthy achievements in a broad range of areas. Discus winners feature unique combinations of activities and passions, from Bronze Olympian archers to nationally recognized synchronized swimmers, harpists to amateur jugglers, and everywhere in between.
Our Discus Awards winners are outstanding students with exceptional stories. A select few Discus winners are awarded a $2,000 college scholarship for their truly extraordinary talents. To win a scholarship, you have to be a Discus Awards winner and you must showcase your distinctive achievements through your blurbs, pictures, and videos.
If you haven't yet, nominate yourself for a Discus Award and tell us about your achievements. Every 2010 -2011 Discus winner is eligible for a $2,000 scholarship through June 2011. You can also nominate your friends or join the amazing Discus winners' community on our Facebook page.
