It is Terry's Sports Page intent to recognize students in Texas UIL Region I Class AA who exhibit leadership and good citizenship in both academics and athletics by offering a scholarship(s).

Terry’s Sports Page wishes to recognize student/athletes who not only succeed in UIL athletic competitions but student/athletes whose academic progress and success serves as a priority.

To Qualify for the Terry’s Sports Page Scholarship, the student must be:

1. Graduating with the Class of 2010.
   
2. Active in at least one UIL high school sport covered by Terry's Sports Page (UIL Texas Region I Class AA).
   
3. Active in at least one UIL Academic competition or Extra-Curricular event such as Band, Choir, FFA or other UIL sponsored competitions.

What is the scholarship worth and how many scholarships will be offered?

Terry's Sports Page scholarships will be worth $500, at a minimum one will be given to a male student/athlete and one to a female student/athlete. My employer Conoco-Phillips has agreed to match the scholarships this year making each scholarship worth $1000. If there are an odd number of scholarhips given after two; the next scholarship will be given to the best candidate regardless of their gender.
