Annual Booster Club 'Ned Obernesser' Scholarship Criteria:
Background: In recognition of the efforts put forth by Ned Obernesser to promote, build and grow the soccer programs at all levels within the Town of East Longmeadow Massachusetts, The East Longmeadow Soccer Booster Clubs provide an award annually in his name. It is presented at the annual season ending high school soccer awards ceremony to both a male and a female soccer player who have exemplified themselves both on and off the field of play.
Amount of the award: The minimum amount of the award will be $500 to each recipient.
Eligibility Criteria: The recipients of this scholarship award must:
· Be a graduating senior from East Longmeadow High School in the academic year the award is presented
· Be admitted to, enrolled in or planning on attending a full-time undergraduate program at an accredited institution of higher education including both community or junior colleges

Selection committee: The committee will include Ned Obernesser or his family’s designee and four representatives from the booster organization (2 for the boys and 2 for the girls). The committee will seek the advice of the East Longmeadow High School boys and girls varsity soccer coaches. The high school principal will validate eligibility of the students selected. In order to eliminate any conflicts of interest, the booster representative should not have a family member in the graduating class of the academic year the award is being presented.
