This award is presented to student athletes who have achieved a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the Spring, 2021 semester (regardless of competitions completed in that timeframe).

The Individual Scholar All American award recognizes student athletes in each of the three NCAA divisions who excel in the classroom.

Thirty-seven colleges and universities across the country currently sponsor the sport at the varsity level.
