an especially important announcement for you. The Eritrean American
Athletics Association is providing a $1,000 scholarship at the end of this
coming school year to eligible students.
Requirements are:
1. Register now with EAAA: Registration deadline September 19th, 2009. To

4. Present a two part essay, 2-4 pages, double spaced:
a) "Why Should You Win the 2010 EAAA Scholarship?"

challenges to overcome. Name one challenge you experienced academically,
athletically, or in other areas, what you learned from it, and how the
challenge made you a stronger person".
EAAA is not looking for the most accomplished runner, or the highest
achieving student, but for the applicant who we feel will benefit the most
from this scholarship. Essay and registration are due by September 19th.
After receiving entries, EAAA will monitor applicants for the year
