Grosse Ile Student Receives Scholar-Athlete Award

Grosse Ile High School student Keeton Ross received the Scholar-Athlete Award presented by the Michigan High School Athletic Association on March 23 at the Jack Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing.

The award was presented to Ross during the 2013 MHSAA boys basketball finals.

Ross will receive a $1,000 scholarship Farm Bureau Insurance, which he can use at the college of his choosing.

Farm Bureau Insurance awarded 32 scholarships, proportionately by school classification, to students with a 3.50 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) grade point average who have previously lettered in at least one sport in which postseason competition is sponsored by the MHSAA, according to an MHSAA release.

*The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by more than 1,600 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools.  Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract approximately 1.6 million spectators each year.
