NAPSI

Wearing a milk mustache could help fund your college education. The National Milk Mustache "got milk?" Campaign, in partnership with USA Today, has launched the Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY) awards, which recognize 25 high school senior student athletes who excel in academics, athletics, community service and leadership with college scholarships.

Winners receive a $7,500 scholarship, attend an awards ceremony with celebrity guests at the Milk House at Disney's Wide World of Sports and appear in a milk mustache ad in USA Today.

High school seniors who think they have what it takes to wear the famous milk mustache can apply at http://sammy.bodyby milk.com.

A celebrity panel of milk mustache athletes, including Andy Roddick, Steve Nash, Mia Hamm, Michelle Kwan and Tony Hawk will help select this year's winners.

Entries must be submitted no later than 11:59 PM ET Friday, March 7, 2008. Finalists will be named by June 2008.

To date, the campaign has awarded more than 250 talented teens with more than $1.5 million in scholarships.
