Manatee High football seniors net nearly $1 million in college scholarships this year

While many will focus on the potential for gridiron glory in the coming years, one fact that is often overlooked is the monetary value of the college scholarships received by Manatee High football seniors.

With room, board and tuition now costing an average of $92,000* for the four year journey to obtain a college degree, this year's record setting Manatee High football scholarship class earned almost $1 million in scholarships from their colleges and universities. Hard work on the field and in the classroom does pay off!
