Meece Scholarship nominations are open

Nominations for the annual Volney Meece Scholarship are now open. The committee that determines the winner will be taking nominations through the month of September. The nominations with supporting information should be sent via e-mail to the Tulsa World's Dave Sittler, the committee's chairman. Dave's e-mail is davesitt@aol.com

The Volney Meece Scholarship is awarded annually by the Football Writers Association of America and named for the late Volney Meece. Meece served 22 years as the FWAA's executive director and was the organization's president in 1971. The scholarship is a $1,000 annual grant for four years. It is given to a deserving son or daughter of an FWAA member.

The committee looks at a student's academic standing as well as service, outside activities and citizenship to determine the winner. The son or daughter of an FWAA member must be planning to further his education after high school. Dave can also take inquiries about the award at the same e-mail.
