2008
Scholarship
Program
A Scholarship Program was established in 1995 by the Herndon Swim League to help
an HSL graduate defray a portion of their college expenses. In 1998 the Herndon
Swim League expanded this program to choose two graduating senior swimmers to
receive a cash award to be used at the colleges of their choice, and in 1999 it
was decided to award up to six scholarships. This will continue in 2008 with the
awarding of up to eight $500 scholarships, as two were not awarded last year.
Minimum Requirements are:
1. Member in good standing of any Herndon Swim League team, with at least one
previous year on a league team.
2. A graduating member of the Class of 2008 from an area high school with a 2.0
grade point average or above.
The nomination can be prepared and submitted by the nominee or anyone who knows
the nominee, but must be reviewed by the Team Representative. Please include the
following information:
1. Name, address and telephone number of nominee.
2. HSL team affiliation(s) and year(s).
3. HSL accomplishments (Team awards, All-Stars, etc.)
4. Other swim team activities (coaching, event planning, etc.)
5. Academic achievements (include high school(s) attended and grade point
average).
6. Other school-related achievements.
7. College or other school nominee will attend.
8. Community activities.
9. Any other relevant information.
10. A Personal Statement by the nominee concerning why they should be selected
for the scholarship. Include information on the importance of swimming to you
and how it has affected or influenced your life.
11. Signature of the nominee.
12. A signed Checklist from the Team Representative.
13. Attach a brief letter of recommendation from a coach, teacher, employer,
etc. (May not be from a parent or any other relative.)
Criteria to be used by the League in selecting the recipients: The primary
consideration will be the nominee's dedication and contributions to their swim
team over the years. Other items to be considered, in the following order, are
school accomplishments, community service, academics and swimming
accomplishments.
These criteria will be evaluated by the Scholarship Committee which will make
the final decision. The nomination package must be submitted to the address
below to arrive not later than July 7, 2008 so that selections can be made and
announced at the HSL All-League Meets on July 26, 2008.
We look forward to continuing this exciting HSL program, and urge each team to
submit worthy graduating seniors for scholarship consideration. Submit
