News EditorCompetition

Are you, or do you know, a high school senior who is also an outstanding athlete? They may be the perfect candidate for the 2010 Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY) Awards, and have the chance to win a $7,500 scholarship for college.

This unique scholarship is sponsored by the National Milk Mustache “got milk?®” Campaign in partnership with USA TODAY. The SAMMY Awards educate teens on the importance of making smart choices- like eating right, staying active and refueling with milk. Twenty-five teens who excel in academics, athletics, community service and leadership will earn a $7,500 scholarship, attend an awards ceremony with celebrity guests at Walk Disney World and appear in their own Milk Mustache ad in USA TODAY.

Applications are due by March 5, 2010. Describe in 250 words or less how you refuel with milk while excelling in academics, athletics, community service and leadership. Finalists will be named in June 2010
