ATU students Nabilah Dunn of Spring, Texas, Kyle Jones of Alma, Alyson Greathouse of Russellville and Anna Winkfield of Jonesboro were chosen from among 453 applicants representing 30 universities across eight states. Only 15 scholarship recipients were selected from across the entire region.

According to its website, NASM was created in 1987 “with the goal of creating a consistent framework for personal trainer education.”
