The Health Plus/NY1 Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school. Selected students receive a $2,000 scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall. Anyone interested should come see Ms. Nardone.

Please click on the link below and read this short article.  NY1 gives scholarship money to PSAL student-athletes each week during the school year.  Scholar athletes must be nominated by the coach or athletic director.  It is very easy to do.  Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to assist our student-athletes.
