PENSACOLA — Pensacola Sports and Whataburger restaurants seek applicants for the Pensacola Sports Senior Scholar Athlete Banquet on May 10. More than $120,000 in scholarships will be awarded to nearly 30 senior athletes during the event.

It is common for several of the nominees to be a school’s valedictorian or in the top 5 percent of their respective class.
Whataburger and Pensacola Sports will award one male and one female student-athlete with a $500 scholarship to be used toward their first semester’s book expense. Additionally, two awardees will win “Whataburger for a Year.”
