Grit. Determination. Service. Get to Know the 2016 Wendy’s Heisman National Finalists

The Wendy’s Heisman National Finalists represent the best scholar athletes in the country. After a nationwide search, the field has been narrowed to only ten. They come from all walks of life, but have one thing in common: a drive and hunger to reach higher, go further and give more in the classroom, on the field and in their communities.

The Wendy’s High School Heisman Scholarship celebrates scholar-athletes in high schools throughout the U.S. who give back to their community and never settle, dig deeper and reach higher. Over the course of 22 years, the program has honored more than 600,000 of the nation's most esteemed high school seniors and pointed the local, state, and even national spotlight on their achievements. This year, one hundred students will receive a total of $150,000 in scholarships, with ten National Finalists each receiving $5,000 and two National Winners receiving $10,000.
