NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Program

The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship was created in 1964 to promote and encourage postgraduate education by rewarding the Association's most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in NCAA championship and/or emerging sports. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are at least in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.

The one-time grants of $10,000 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports, and spring sports. Athletics and academic achievements, as well as campus involvement, community service, volunteer activities and demonstrated leadership, are evaluated.



Nomination deadlines follow completion of each sports season: fall, winter, and spring. Please visit the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship website for more detail.
