A. WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any Pop Warner participant who is currently in the 5th grade or higher with the GPA of 96% or higher for the 2023-2024 school year. Report card must reflect the grades for an entire school year for the previous school year (including summer school). During the 2023-2024 school year the applicant must have been involved in at least one or more extra-curricular activities thru school, church, or an outside organization other than Pop Warner or received one or more honor awards in school or other outside activity. (Note: Pop Warner and sports teams are NOT considered an extra-curricular activity).
B. GUIDELINES FOR EAST COAST CONFERENCE ALL-CONFERENCE SCHOLAR
The top applicants in football, cheer, dance and Jr. Coaches/Student Demonstrators with a 96.0% GPA or higher, who have met the qualifications for All-American, are named as “East Coast Pop Warner All-Conference Scholars”. These conference scholars are then submitted to the Southeast Region for consideration as an All-Region Scholar as well as being submitted to National Pop Warner for consideration as a National Scholar.
All qualifying scholars are invited to the East Coast Conference Scholastic Celebration and will be notified by email.
C. GUIDELINES FOR SOUTHEAST REGION ALL-REGION SCHOLAR
The top 40 football players and the 40 cheerleaders/dancers in each of the four grade categories from the All-Conference level, which have a 98.6% GPA or higher, are eligible to be named as “Southeast Region Scholars.” These regional scholars are then submitted to Nationals for consideration as an All-American Scholar. All participants that are presently in the 8th grade and above are eligible for a scholarship. The qualifying scholars will be notified by email.
D. GUIDELINES FOR NATIONAL ALL-AMERICAN SCHOLAR
All participants who have a 96% GPA or higher in each of the four grade categories are submitted to Nationals; where they are considered for First-Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention National Scholars. All participants that are presently in the 8th grade and above are eligible for a scholarship. The qualifying scholars will be notified by email.
National scoring is different than that of the East Coast Conference and the Southeast Region, so not everyone that is chosen by the Southeast Region will be chosen by National.
