About the NFL Latino Youth Honors – Celebrating Excellence within Latino Communities:
The NFL Latino Youth Honors presented by Procter & Gamble recognizes outstanding high school tackle and flag football athletes from around the country for their academic and athletic excellence. The program stems from a longstanding partnership between the NFL and Hispanic Heritage Foundation. The NFL and the HHF have highlighted impactful Latinos for many years, but this program is fully focused on honoring outstanding Latino youth football players. This initiative celebrates high school seniors across NFL club markets who excel in the classroom and on the football field. Thanks to Procter & Gamble's commitment to the program, eight high school seniors will each receive a grant award that can be used for college – including $25,000 grants for both the male and female national winners and $5,000 grants for each of the six other finalists. In addition to the grants, all eight finalists are set to participate in a variety of special events taking place in New Orleans during Super Bowl LIX Week.
