Gaziano Lineman Awards to be held Saturday Jan 25, 2020 at 11:00 am at The Augusta Civic Center
The 10th Annual award and scholarship presentations to the Gaziano Award winners will be announced during a lunch on Saturday, Jan. 25th at the Augusta Civic Center.
The Gaziano Awards are the largest high school scholarships of their kind in the country. The awards are given to the top senior-class offensive and defensive linemen in the state based on their hard work on the field, in the classroom, and in their communities.
Two winners will receive $5,000 each and a trophy, and four runners-up will receive $1,000 each and a trophy. The awards honor the memory of the late Frank J. Gaziano who was a college football All-American and professional player before founding National Distributors, Inc. in South Portland.
To qualify for consideration, an applicant must be a high school senior, have competed at the varsity level for a minimum of two years and have an exemplary record of positive athletic and non-athletic citizenship. The submission of a student essay and a game film featuring the applicant competing against his two toughest competitors are also part of the application process.

All funding for the scholarships and awards is provided by National Distributors, Inc. in South Portland. The awards committee will also be securing sponsorships ranging from $50-$500 so players and families of the student athletes can attend the lunch free of charge. If you are interested in attending the event or contributing to the scholarship fund, contact event coordinator Jennifer Bouffard at (207)773-1719 x3343 or e-mail gazianoawards@gmail.com.
