Students send their applications to our league president who then gives them to a three person committee who decide on the award winners. The committee receive applications where names and gender are removed and judge the winners not on their ability as soccer players but on their overall contribution to our Club. This years winners were players, referee's and coaches of the younger house teams. This years winners of $500 scholarships were:
Novato High School
Kevin Andresen
Matthew Bernhardt
Aaron Davis
All three were also members of Novato High's NCS championship winning soccer team and are pictured below
San Marin High School
Shahdah Afrakhan

NYSA wishes them and all our graduating seniors all the success for the future and hope they will remain involved with the Club doing recesses etc.
