State Farm recognized 18 Arizona State student-athletes as part of the State Farm Territorial Cup Series Good Neighbor Team this week. Sun Devil Athletics honored the student-athletes on April 23, in the Student-Athlete Carson Center.
The annual scholarship program recognizes the accomplishments of student-athletes at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University who exemplify the true spirit of the collegiate athlete.
To be eligible for the award, student athletes had to have a 3.0 grade point average and complete community service hours during the school year. Each school has 18 representatives who competed in the State Farm Territorial Cup Series rivalry. These student-athletes are being honored for their achievements in the classroom, on the field and in their community. $20,000 is being donated to the Sun Devil Club by State Farm on behalf of the student athletes who were recognized.
