The Sneaker Ball is the annual celebration to honor the Knoxville Area Urban League’s National Achievers Society (NAS) scholars. The event also serves as KAUL’s official College Signing Day, with seniors representing their chosen colleges and universities. Awards and scholarships will be presented to scholars during the program.

The National Achievers Society was established to identify and inspire academically accomplished minority high school students, with the goal of expanding the pool of individuals who are ready, motivated and qualified for higher education.
