Little Scholars

Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. PWLS is a national youth sports organization in America that requires its participants to perform adequately in the classroom before permitting them to play.  The Pop Warner program believes that the standards it has set gives these children a sense of responsibility and appreciation for academics and athletics that will help them develop later on in life.

Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status.  This process begins at the association level and up through each of the eight Pop Warner regions to the national level. 

The PWLS All-American Program requires a minimum of 96.00% grade point average to apply for All-American status. 

Pop Warner hosts an awards program each year to celebrate the accomplishments of it's participants.  Nationally, PWLS selects First and Second Team All-Americans and awards scholarships for higher education to the most deserving students.

Scholarships are only offered to Senior Scholars, which are First Team All-Americans in grades 8 and above.  Since 1993, over $302,000 in scholarship dollars have been awarded through the Pop Warner Awards Program.
