Each year the BIRR awards $1,000 to one male and one female student athlete who best exemplifies excellence in running, academics, volunteerism and overall citizenship.
Applicants were judged on academic achievements with a GPA of at least a 2.5, and involved in volunteer activities and community service. An essay was required on “How running has influenced or affected their life.”
