In the late 80's, the Executive Council of Junior Comet Sports decided they would (in the future) offer two $500 scholarships to graduating seniors. We committed to provide a scholarship to at least one male & one female graduate. Scholarships would begin being awarded when the sixth graders of 1984-85 were set to graduate in 1991. Scholarship eligibility was to be based on several personal attributes. The following list are some of the key aspects that were felt to be of utmost importance in selecting recipients:
1. Applicants "must" have participated in Junior Comet Sports.
2. Applicants should be role models for and of Citizenship.
3. Did applicants continue to be involved in athletics in high school?
4. Did applicants exhibit voluntary involvement in extracurricular community activities?
5. Were the applicants parents or relatives involved in helping a Junior Comet Sports team or program?
Jr. Comet Sports has continued to award scholarships every year since 1991, and has exceeded the two scholarships at the $500 amount. From 1991 through 2022 our totals are: 248 Scholarships awarded for a combined sum of $225,100. The averages since 1991 have been 7.8 scholarships per year at $908 per scholarship. Over the last several years our scholarships have averaged over $1,000 each.
