Each year, the most academically accomplished kids compete for Academic All-American status. This process begins at the association level and up through each of the regions.
American Youth Football and Cheer invites all players and cheerleaders in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades to apply for the 2024 Academic Achievement Alliance (AAA) award. Applicants with a 96 percent or higher GPA from the previous academic year are eligible to be considered for the AAA awards.
Do you volunteer in your community?
To be considered for a AAA scholarship, you must provide two extracurricular activities that don’t include AYF.
The following are examples of extra-curricular activities that will be accepted:
● Religious Leadership roles
● Charity Work
● Community clean-up projects
● Recycling Programs
● Youth Programs (i.e. Boys & Girls Club)
American Youth Football (AYF) recognizes student-athletes who excel in both academics and extracurricular activities through its Academic All-American program.
AYF believes that academics are a foundation for a promising future. They strive to develop scholars, thinkers, and visionaries. AYF also emphasizes the importance of community involvement and high moral standards.
Applications for the AAA program are due annually by September 15. Click here to submit your application.
