Originating in 1957, the PNC Big 33 Football Classic is one of the nation's finest scholastic All-Star football games highlighting the outstanding high school athletes of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Classic is aptly described as "The Super Bowl of high school football."

The PNC Big 33 Football Classic is much more than a football game. Since 1985, over $3.6 million has been awarded in academic scholarships.

Big 33 Scholarships provide financial assistance to high school seniors who exhibit excellence in a well rounded educational and extracurricular program. The scholarships are made possible by the Annual Big 33 Football Classic and its scholarship sponsors, and are administered by the Big 33 Scholarship Foundation.
