A.F. BRIDGES SCHOLARSHIPS The A.F. Bridges Awards Program announced in the winter issue of the TSSAA News the 27 Divisional Finalists for 2001-02. Also, the nine schools that won the A.F. Bridges State Award of Excellence were recognized. This year the TSSAA Board of Control has earmarked $27,000 toward a scholarship fund to recognize one outstanding student athlete from each of the 27 schools that were Divisional Finalist for the A.F. Bridges Awards. Each school was asked to recognize a person who represents the essence of good sportsmanship and citizenship. The criteria for this nomination was set up by each individual school. Each nominee was asked to provide a complete resume as well as a paper describing what participation in activities has meant to them. Additionally, we asked for input as to their perception of their role and responsibilities as a student leader. Each student will be awarded the $1,000 scholarship once they have enrolled in college. We are very proud to announce the 27 A.F. Bridges Scholar Athletes.
