Each season, sports give us moments we never forget. A teammate who stays late to help clean up. A player who steps in to help younger kids. Someone who leads not by volume, but by example.

The Emmalia Bilaski Youth Sports Scholarship exists to honor those moments.

Applications are now open for the Emmalia Bilaski Youth Sports Scholarship, awarded each spring to a POSA athlete who leads with heart, gives back to others, and strengthens our sports community through their actions on and off the field.

This scholarship is not about stats or standings. It recognizes character, service, and the quiet leadership that helps programs like POSA thrive. We are looking for applicants who have contributed their time, energy, and care to POSA, whether through volunteering, mentoring younger players, officiating, helping at events, or simply showing up for others.

Applicants are invited to visit https://posasports.org/about/scholarship for full details and application instructions. Submissions are completed by email and should include the applicant’s POSA involvement, how they have helped or given back to the organization or broader youth sports community, and their plans for the future.

The recipient will be announced in May.

If you or someone you know embodies the spirit of giving back and leading with heart, we encourage you to apply.

The heart of sports starts with us.
