COLUMBUS, Ohio — Lincolnview’s Alek Bowersock (cross country, basketball, track) and Crestview’s Drew Kline (football, basketball) were among the 199 recent high school gradutes who received college scholarships awarded by the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

The OHSAA’s six District Athletic Boards made the selections for the 27th annual college scholarship program. Thirty-six of the honorees will receive $1,000 awards, including six (one from each district) who will receive an OHSAA Ethnic Minority Scholarship. The remaining 163 award winners will receive scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000.

“The accomplishments in the classroom and through interscholastic athletic competition of these 199 student-athletes represent the best of education-based athletics,” OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said. “The District Athletic Boards and OHSAA staff, Board of Directors and member schools are excited to recognize these young leaders. We take great pride in the scholar-athlete program and the student-athletes throughout the state of Ohio.”

Scholar-athlete recipients are selected based on a point system which rewards students for grade point averages; class rank; ACT or SAT scores; varsity letters earned, and individual and team athletic honors. The number of scholarship recipients from each district are based upon the number of schools within the district.

The recipients were selected by special committees within each of the OHSAA’s six athletic districts. Individuals who receive athletic scholarships from NCAA Division I or II institutions or appointees to military academies are not eligible for an award.
