posted 02/04/2010 As many of you know, at our Annual Banquet, the Wallingford Hawks present various awards to the teams and players. At this year’s Banquet (Aqua Turf, April 1, 2010), we will begin a new award program, to recognize our players who excel in their academic pursuits. One “Academic Achievement Award” will be given to one player from each travel team. This award is separate from, and in addition to, the one Hawks Scholarship that is also awarded at the Banquet.
The Application has been posted to our "Documents" page. To have your son or daughter considered for this award, please print the Application, fill it out, and return the signed Application to: Jeffrey J. Holley, 1864 Old Waterbury Road, Cheshire, CT 06410.
The deadline for Applications is March 10, 2010. ALL Applications must be delivered to Mr. Holley by March 10, 2010. This is a real deadline; there will be no Applications accepted after March 10th.
This Award is being instituted so that we can recognize the outstanding academic work that our players do, despite the time commitments associated with travel hockey. All Applications will be individually reviewed by a subcommittee of the Board of Directors. The Board will look at the player’s grade average, and will also take into account additional academic achievements/involvement such as, but not limited to: advanced placement classes; community service; participation in an academically gifted program; academic competitions (spelling, math or geography bees, for example); writing competitions; student council or student mentoring work; and similar items.
The Application Form should be used as a guideline. Please feel free to use additional sheets of paper if needed. Each player, and one parent/guardian, must sign their Applications. The decisions of the Board will be based upon their sole and exclusive discretion, and will be final. All submitted Applications shall be kept confidential and become the property of the Board.
