Now that the school year is underway, it's back to business, especially for high school junior and seniors. It's time to focus on college applications, scholarships, grants, and student loans.
If you know a student from the Class of 2010 that has a 3.0 grade point average or higher, participates in at least one out of 27 qualifying school-sponsored sports, and gives back to their community somehow, I urge you to encourage him or her to apply for the Wendy's High School Heisman. If you are a teacher who thinks a student you know deserves this honor, then you can nominate that student for consideration. The first 41,100 students to apply will be awarded with Wendy's gift cards of various values.
One male and one female student from each high school will be chosen to move onto the state and national competitions. 12 finalists will each receive an all-expense paid trip to the Heisman ceremonies scheduled for December 11th-13th, 2009 and these finalists will also be featured on ESPN2. One male and one female student will each win a Wendy’s High School Heisman trophy, a Heisman patch, $10,000 for their High School, and a $500 Wendy's gift card.
If you know a student who should submit an application, please make sure they do so by October 1st, 2009 6pm EST. The application can be found at www.WendysHeisman.com .
