“The NCAA is expanding its Elite Scholar-Athlete program to provide year-round recognition of the nation’s most accomplished student-athletes, introducing new seasonal honors and the Elite Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.

The enhanced program builds on the NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award, presented at each NCAA championship finals site across Divisions I, II and III. The expanded recognition will elevate the achievements of these exceptional student-athletes beyond the championship stage, creating opportunities throughout the year to celebrate their academic success, athletic excellence, leadership and contributions to their communities.

For the first time, the NCAA will choose a man and a woman each season from among the Elite Scholar-Athlete Award fall, winter and spring championship winners. Those six seasonal honorees will then be considered for the NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, with one man and one woman announced as the inaugural national winners in summer 2027.”

» What They’re Saying. “The Elite Scholar-Athlete program represents the very best of the college sports experience,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said. “By expanding this program, we’re creating more opportunities to celebrate their success, share their stories and demonstrate how college sports prepare young people for success long after graduation.”
