Congratulations to all the 2015
Pop Warner All-American Scholars!
This year Pop Warner announced that a record number of All-American Scholar applications were submitted - nearly 9,700 in total. Out of that, 28 Hillsborough Dukes were selected for national recognition!
The Scholastic Banquet is a fun filled evening wherein the Pop Warner community gathers to honor all of our All-American scholars and presents our senior scholar-athletes with scholarships, recognizes our notable award winners who serve as role models for our participants, and congratulates the top volunteers in each region. This special night draws approximately 2,000 people from across the country and starts with a general reception, followed by dinner and features a silent auction, a special autograph signing and special appearances by NFL mascots and other characters.

PROGRAM:
Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status. This process begins at the association level and up through each of the eight Pop Warner regions to the national level. In 2009, over 400,000 kids participated in Pop Warner. As our numbers once again reached record levels, 280+ First Team members, over 5,000 Second Team members and 2,000+ Honorable Mention scholars were named as Academic All-Americans at the National Level for 2008-2009.
The Pop Warner Little Scholars All-American Program requires a minimum 96% grade point average to apply for All-American status. After the applications have been processed, Pop Warner determines National First Team All-Americans (35 football, 35 cheer per grade), National Second Team All-Americans and National Honorable Mention Scholars.
