The ECAC Scholar-Athlete Awards honors the outstanding academic and athletic achievements of student-athletes representing ECAC schools in Division I, II and III. One male and one female athlete from each division are selected based on extraordinary achievements in academics, athletics and community service.

Each ECAC member institution may nominate one male and one female candidate.

The individuals nominated by each member institution will be designated as institutional ECAC Scholar-Athlete Award winners.  Each of these individuals will receive a certificate from the ECAC in the late spring, prior to the end of classes for the current academic year.  Further, their names will be placed in the pool of nominees for the Division I, II and III ECAC Scholar-Athlete Awards and recognized at the annual ECAC Fall Convention Honors Dinner.

The following criteria must be followed:

The candidate must be enrolled at the undergraduate institution at the time of nomination.

The candidate must have earned a cumulative minimum overall GPA of 3.2 (4.0 scale and must have reached sophomore athletics and academic status (true freshmen, redshirt freshmen and ineligible athletics transfers are not eligible).

The candidate must be a starter or significant reserve in a particular sport and must compete in a least 50 percent of the contests in that sport.

Other factors such as community service, exemplary citizenship or other extracurricular activities should be noted.
