More Time To Apply

The Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation's
student awards committee has expanded
the nomination forms and extended the
deadline to apply for the Jewish News Male
and Female High School Athlete of the
Year and Bill Hertz Memorial Scholarship
awards.
July 6 is this year's application deadline,
about a month later than previous dead-
lines. Winners will be notified by Aug. 6.
"The committee felt extending the
nomination deadline would give student-
athletes an opportunity to include spring
sports achievements and awards on their
applications;' said communications and
events director Hedy Blatt on behalf of
the Walled Lake-based foundation.
Application forms can be downloaded at
the foundation's website, www.michigan-
jewishsports.org, and Facebook page, www.
facebook.com/michiganjewishsports.
Blatt sent 51 letters to athletic directors
and guidance counselors at Metro Detroit,
Ann Arbor and Lansing area high schools
announcing the change.
The Athlete of the Year awards are based
on athletic achievement. They typically
are presented to graduating high school
seniors for their career accomplishments.
The two Hertz scholarships, for male
and female graduating high school
seniors, are based on financial need,
academic achievement, and athletic par-
ticipation. Named for a former foundation
board member, the scholarships are used
for the recipients' freshman year in college.
The Athletes of the Year and scholarship
winners will be honored Oct. 25 at the
foundation's Michigan Jewish Sports Hall
of Fame induction dinner at the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield.

arships, contact foundation executive
director David Blatt, (248) 592-9323 or
