The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame honors the nation’s outstanding scholarathletes annually with graduate school fellowships. A recipient must be a senior and in his final year of eligibility, have shown outstanding football ability and performance, exhibited academic application and performance, demonstrated outstanding leadership and citizenship, and be a candidate for graduate study and must not have received his diploma. Recipients of the prestigious honor receive an $18,000 fellowship.
Forty-five Penn State studentathletes, including 18 football players, have received National Collegiate Athletic Association Postgraduate Scholarships. The award carries a $7,500 scholarship for postgraduate study at the university or professional school of the studentathlete’s choice. To qualify for consideration, each recipient must have earned at least a “B” cumulative average (3.0 on Penn State’s 4.0 grade-point scale) and also must have performed with distinction in his or her sport, thus epitomizing the term “student-athlete.” Penn State’s recipients and year of graduation:
