All-American Scholar Program

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.

In 2018, over 325,000 kids participated in Pop Warner. In that same year, 280+ First Team members, over 3,500 Second Team members and 2,000+ Honorable Mention scholars were named as Academic All-Americans at the National Level for 2017-2018.

The PWLS All-American Program requires a minimum 96% grade point average to apply for All-American status.

After the applications have been processed, Pop Warner determines National First Team All-Americans (35 football, 35 cheer per grade), National Second Team All-Americans & National Honorable Mention Scholars.

ALL-AMERICAN SELECTION PROCESS:

  • A final score is calculated for each student that consists of up to 100 points (85%) for the student's grades for the prior school year, along with up to 18 points (15%) awarded for the attached Addendum sheet of activities and achievements.
  • Once the scores have been calculated, First Team All-Americans are selected. The top 35 football players and 35 cheerleaders per grade (plus ties) are selected as National First Team All-Americans.
  • Second Team All-Americans are then determined by Pop Warner based upon the number of applications that were submitted for that year. Last year's total was approximately 3,500 Second Team All-Americans.
  • Applicants who are not selected as 2nd Team All-Americans are named Honorable Mention Scholars in recognition of qualifying for this prestigious academic achievement. 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Pop Warner will announce its annual Scholar All-Americans via the Pop Warner website, Facebook and Twitter each year by April 1st. Each scholar will receive an informational packet in the mail by the end of April that includes:

  • Congratulatory letter from Pop Warner indicating their scholastic accomplishment.
  • Certificate of achievement for National All-Americans.
  • Information regarding the Pop Warner National All-American Banquet.
