Qualified United States Bowling Congress youth and adult members have until October 1 to apply for the Chuck Hall and Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow awards. Winners will receive $6,000 scholarships plus national recognition at the USBC Convention next spring.

"Bowling's national governing body is proud to acknowledge the up and coming stars of our sport and encourage them to apply for these prestigious honors," said Kevin Dornberger, USBC's chief operating officer.

Each year the Chuck Hall Star of Tomorrow award recognizes one male high school senior or college student who competes in the sport of bowling. Star quality criteria for this award include distinguished bowling performances on the local, state and national levels, as well as academic achievement and community involvement.
