Inspireum Football Awards

The Inspireum Football Awards celebrate outstanding young athletes - not because of their statistical performance, but because of their ability to inspire teammates, classmates and communities. The Awards celebrate inspirational young athletes who embody the values of character, courage, contribution and commitment through the sport of football. Each year, hundreds of football players nationwide are nominated by coaches, parents and teammates for this prestigious award, generating millions of votes from fans across the country.

The Awards celebrates inspirational young athletes who embody the values of character, courage, contribution and commitment through the sport of football. Recognizing and rewarding these outstanding players inspires other youth to pursue sports as a positive, action-oriented path to self-discipline, leadership, strong academic performance and a healthy lifestyle.

$25,000 in academic scholarships will be awarded by the Trusted Sports Foundation to the twelve finalists, who will also receive an autographed jersey. A national Selection Committee along with a fan vote chooses the scholarship recipients and final Inspireum Football Award Winner. The nation's most inspirational player will receive a $7,500 scholarship.
