In 2011, US Lacrosse entered into a multi-year partnership agreement with The University Club of Washington to sponsor the annual Tewaaraton Award and Annual Native American High School Player of the Year Scholarship.

The Tewaaraton Award, founded in 2000, honors the nation's top male and female collegiate lacrosse player for extraordinary achievements on the field. Honoring the Native American heritage, the Tewaaraton Trophy symbolizes lacrosse’s centuries-old roots in Native American history.

The US Lacrosse Annual Native American High School Player of the Year Scholarship will be awarded to one male and one female each year. The scholarship honors high school students of Native American descent who exemplify high character, leadership, and academics both on and off the lacrosse field.

"We are thrilled to work with the University Club of Washington and to be associated with an award that recognizes the premier men’s and women’s collegiate lacrosse players each year," said Steve Stenersen, president and CEO of US Lacrosse. "And, just as importantly, the scholarship honors the sport’s Native American heritage, and rewards outstanding young Iroquois student-athletes who aspire to achieve their full potential on the lacrosse field and in the classroom."
