Eagles Top Achiever Awards
 Since 1997, Eagles Youth Partnership has partnered with Philadelphia Futures, a non-profit organization whose goal is to help kids do well in school while preparing for college and careers, has recognized more than 1,000 scholar-athletes for their academic excellence. Varsity high school football players from Allentown, Camden, Chester, Philadelphia and Reading who maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher are invited to an awards ceremony and reception at the NovaCare Complex with their families and football coaches.  Each year, Head Coach Andy Reid and an Eagles player address and recognize high school scholar-athletes for having maintained at least a 3.0 grade point average during their football season. Honorees from Allentown, Camden, Chester, Philadelphia and Reading school districts receive a custom-made shirt, an Eagles autographed football and a certificate commemorating their excellent scholastic achievements. The high school football player with the highest academic average at each school also spends a day as a VIP at Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp at Lehigh University.
