Scholarship Opportunity for High School Juniors in The Woodlands

What would our world look like if high school sports produced individuals dedicated to improving themselves, their teammates and their sports as a whole? We will soon know the answer, as Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) expands to the Houston area the highly-successful Triple-Impact Competitor Scholarship Program sponsored by Deloitte LLP and the Thrive Foundation for Youth.

The program will deliver $1,000 college scholarships to the four current Houston-area high school juniors (two boys and two girls) who best exemplify PCA’s model of the Triple-Impact Competitor:

Personal Mastery -- Making oneself better
Leadership -- Making one’s teammates better
Honoring the Game -- Making the game better.

Students may apply through May 31, 2010 at www.positivecoach.org/scholarship/application.aspx. Students in the following Houston-area counties are eligible: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller. Scholarships will be presented at an Autumn, 2010 event in the Houston area.

“At Deloitte, ‘doing the right thing’ is what guides our people every day,” said San Francisco-based Vice Chairman and Northern Pacific Regional Managing Partner Mark Edmunds of Deloitte LLP, who piloted the scholarship program in the San Francisco Bay Area and is driving its expansion to other Deloitte offices. “PCA’s Triple-Impact Competitor Scholarship Program encourages student-athletes to strive for the same standard, and we are proud to support a program that cultivates this hallmark in these future leaders.”
