History and General Information!
 Jr Comet Sports began awarding graduating senior scholarships in 1991.  This was the first year that 6th graders who participated in 1984-85 (Jr Comet Sports first season) became seniors.  The Jr Comet constitution requires an award
of (at least) two $500 scholarships each year to graduating students who participated in one of our programs as a youth
(one each to a male and female student).
 
From 1991 through 2025 our totals are: 331 Scholarships awarded for a combined sum of $318,900.  The averages since
1991 have been 8.9 scholarships per year at $1,100 +/- per scholarship.  Over the last few years our scholarships have
averaged close to $2,000 each.
