Isaiah Cree ’19 Named a Recipient of the 14th Annual Tewaaraton Native American Scholarship

The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the recipients of the 14th annual Tewaaraton Native American Scholarships, presented by US Lacrosse.

Awarded to male and female students each year, the scholarship honors high school students of Haudenosaunee / Iroquois heritage who exemplify high character, leadership, and academics both on and off the lacrosse field. Applicants are asked to submit an essay describing what the sport of lacrosse means to them as Native American student-athletes and members of their community, as well as two letters of recommendation and a high school transcript. One of the 2019 scholarship recipients is Isaiah Cree '19, citizen of the Mohawk Nation.
 
Isaiah is a member of the Wolf Clan who draws his roots to Akwesasne. Although originally from upstate New York, Isaiah was inspired by his grandfather to leave home his junior year to attend Sierra Canyon. Nonetheless, Isaiah has placed a great emphasis on public service in his home community, having served his people as an academic tutor and, most recently, as a camp counselor for the St. Regis Mohawk School’s Johnson O’Malley summer camp program in 2018. Isaiah hopes to continue to give back to his community and hopes to someday be an ESPN broadcaster that can be a positive role model for Native American youth.  Isaiah looks forward to attending and playing lacrosse at McGill University in the fall of 2019.
