Each year, the Lansing Bobcats Sports Boosters shall present four awards in the amount of $500 each to graduating Lansing High School students. The intent is to give two awards to female student athletes and two awards to male student athletes. However, there may be variation in this distribution based on the qualifications of applicants.
These awards are given in recognition of leadership, sportsmanship, and contributions to a positive interscholastic athletic culture at Lansing High School. The selection committee weighs not only leadership and good sportsmanship while at Lansing but also the potential of these awards to support the recipient as s/he pursues her/his future goals, recognizing that the lessons of interscholastic sports can be carried into the armed services, workplace, education, family life, and more.
