A partnership between the Northern Marianas Amateur Sports Association (NMASA) and Tan Siu Lin Foundation was recently formed, giving more benefits for the male and female student athletes in the CNMI.
Due to this partnership, the student awards will now be called NMASA/Tan Siu Lin Foundation Male and Female Student Athlete of the Month.
The benefit that the student athletes will reap from this partnership is evident in the additional perks that they will receive if they are named as a monthly awardee. These are the gifts that the foundation will give out, aside from the recognition that will be given out by NMASA.
According to Tan Siu Lin Foundation Manager Ed Arriola, winners of the top student athlete awards will get bigger prizes at the end of the year.
