Apply now for a chance at a $20,000 scholarship

The Foot Locker Scholar Athletes program honors student athletes who demonstrate excellence in school, on their sports teams, and in their communities. This is an award that celebrates YOU--not necessarily because you scored the winning touchdown or goal--but because sports have helped you grow into a strong leader in your community.

Twenty winners of this program will each receive $20,000 in scholarship funding for college (dispersed evenly over four-year period). Apply now until December 19.
