From an applicant pool of thousands of high school scholar-athletes graduating with the class of 2022, Archmere senior Simi Edeki has been named a School Winner in the Heisman High School Scholarship Program, presented by Acceptance Insurance. From its inception in 1994, the program has leveraged the reputation of the Heisman Memorial Trophy as a symbol of great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work for high school student athletes.
"The Heisman High School Scholarship program extends the Heisman prestige to the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors by celebrating and rewarding outstanding male and female scholar-athletes who understand that the most important victories happen not only on the field, but also in their schools and communities. These remarkable young leaders set the example and make a game-changing difference every day, paving the way to greatness for everyone around them."
As a School Winner, Simi is honored as one of the nation’s most accomplished, community-minded high school senior athletes. Simi was recognized as a winner because of her outstanding GPA, athletic talent and her proven leadership within the Archmere community. In September of this year, Simi was also recognized as a National Merit Semifinalist, due to her incredibly high PSAT scores, taken in her junior year.

State Winners receive a $1,000 college scholarship, National Finalists receive a $2,000 college scholarship and the male and female National Winners will each receive a $10,000 college scholarship.
