Pop Warner Little Scholars YOUR FUTURE BEGINS HERE!

All-American Scholar Weekend



Our All-American Scholar Weekend returns for the first time since 2019. This is a weekend to celebrate the accomplishments of our most accomplished scholar-athletes. Nationally, we select First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention All-Americans, as well as award scholarships for higher education to the most deserving students in grades 8 and above. Also, we’ll induct our inaugural class of the Pop Warner Hall of Fame and recognize others that have contributed and served as exemplary ambassadors for Pop Warner.

We cordially invite you to join us for a special evening in celebration of our 2025-2026 All-American Scholars, our Scholarship Recipients, and Special Honorees.

About the Program



Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status. This process begins at the association level and up through each of the eight Pop Warner regions to the national level.

The PWLS All-American Program requires a minimum 96% GPA to apply for All-American status.

After applications are processed, Pop Warner determines National First Team All-Americans, National Second Team All-Americans & National Honorable Mention Scholars.
