Please click on the "Nominations" tab in the Menu bar for important information regarding how to submit nominations for the 2022 Football season.

Q:  Will the WFF be honoring Scholar-Athletes for the Fall 2022 Season?

A:  Yes.  Every high school head football coach in Wisconsin is invited to nominate a graduating senior who meets the criteria for recognition as a National Football Foundation High School Scholar-Athlete.

• For questions, please contact: alan.minnaert@edgewoodhs.org

Q:  What will each Scholar Athlete receive?

A:  Every honoree will receive a personalized plaque to commemorate their selection.  Also, every school will receive a personalized name-plate, recognizing the honoree on their school’s institutional plaque.

*The paperwork has been simplified and  consists of only three items: 

1)  a brief nomination form, available on our website;

2)  a one page reflection, prepared by the nominee, on what the experience of participating in football has meant to him.

3) a letter of recommendation from the Head Coach explaining why this scholar athlete is deserving to become a member of the Scholar Athlete Team

Q:  What is some background information about this program?

A: The Wisconsin Football Foundation is the  National Football Foundation Chapter in the State of Wisconsin.  Founded in 1993, Wisconsin’s Chapter is one of 120 Chapters in 47 states; there are currently 12,000 members.  Each year over $1 million in scholarships are awarded by Chapters to high school scholar-athletes. To date, $85,500  has been awarded to WFF honorees for the 1993-2021 seasons.

• The Wisconsin Chapter has honored 2,272 nominees. (See our website for details.)
•  426 high schools in WI have submitted 1 or more nominees over the years.
• The primary focus of the Chapter is to promote outstanding personal, academic, and athletic achievement among graduating seniors in Wisconsin.  In addition to recognizing qualified nominees, a permanent Endowment Fund has been established to provide college scholarship assistance.
• The initial funding was established from memorial contributions in the name of George H. Chryst, former high school & college coach, and the father of current Head Football Coach for the Badgers, Paul Chryst.  The Chryst family has remained involved since the Chapter was established.
