Scholarships & Awards
NICK MADARAS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Madaras family and WSA are honored to select and award an annual scholarship(s) in the name of American hero, and Wilton-native, PFC Nick Madaras. Nick played soccer in Wilton as a youth and at Wilton High School before enlisting in the U.S. Army. Nick was awarded a Purple Heart for bravery, a Bronze Star Medal for dedication and many other accolades for his service to our country. When abroad serving, Nick began a tradition of using a soccer ball to encourage diplomacy and dialogue which had the effect of establishing common ground with local, war-torn people and communities. The Kick for Nick Foundation, established in his name, has continued this legacy.
The Madaras Scholarship recognizes Wilton High School soccer players who have best embodied the leadership, commitment, sportsmanship and teamwork that characterized Nick’s contributions to the Wilton High School soccer team, community and country. The deadline for applications is mid November each year.
