*EAAA To Give $1000 Scholarship: Registration Deadline September 19, 2009*
Attention all high school runners in the United States and Canada. This is
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
register, email Alex Amaniel, secretary, at warsai553@gmail.com, or
call/email Yohannes Debesai, president: (703) 655-4894, ydebesai@yahoo.com.
2. Run competitively and show improvement in the coming seasons.
3. At least 3.0 Cumulative GPA for 09-10 school year, (transcript required)
4. Present a two part essay, 2-4 pages, double spaced:
a) "Why Should You Win the 2010 EAAA Scholarship?"
b) "Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a long haul filled with
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
