Graduating seniors from Collier County high schools are eligible for the Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete award, which was created in 1990 by the Collier Athletic Club. The winner will be revealed at the banquet Thursday, May 27 at Naples Grande Resort. The winner receives a $10,000 scholarship — $2,500 a year for four years; the other finalists receive one-time stipends.
ESPN personality Dick Vitale, who was the speaker at the inaugural banquet, will be the keynote speaker. He replaces former University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who had a conflict with a Denver Broncos minicamp.
Profiles of the 11 finalists are below:
■ Rachel Bowden, Seacrest Country Day
