Story by: Winona State Sports Information Office


INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Winona State University's Kallie Tellefson has been named one of 58 NCAA student-athletes to be awarded an educational grant through the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Program.

The winners (29 women and 29 men) represent fall-sports participants who will receive one time, nonrenewable grants of $7,500.

Tellefson is a, senior, midfielder, who helped the Warrior soccer team to a regular-season Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championship and a berth in NCAA Division II regional tournament play.

Tellefson is the second WSU soccer player in the last three seasons to receive this award. Goalkeeper, Kathryn Kramer received the award for the 2005-2006 season.

The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition. The Association awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually -- 87 for women and 87 for men.

The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship was created in 1964 to promote and encourage postgraduate education by rewarding the Association's most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in NCAA championship and/or emerging sports.
