The NCAA has awarded 32 postgraduate scholarships -- 16 through the women's enhancement program and 16 through the ethnic minority enhancement program. Six Division III-specific scholarships also were awarded.

The Association also has awarded postgraduate scholarships of $5,000 each to 58 student-athletes (29 men and 29 women) at member institutions. Those scholarships are for student-athletes in winter sports and are part of the NCAA's year-round postgraduate scholarship program.

Enhancement scholarships

The enhancement scholarships are designed to create better opportunities for women and ethnic minorities in coaching, athletics administration, officiating and athletics support services.

The recipients are women and ethnic minorities who have completed an undergraduate degree and are seeking admission or have been accepted into an NCAA member institution's sports administration or related program that will assist the applicant in obtaining a career in athletics. The one-time award is valued at $6,000.

Applicants must be entering their first semester or term of postgraduate studies and must have performed with distinction as student-body members at their respective undergraduate institutions. The applicants' involvement in extracurricular activities, course work, commitment to the pursuit of a career in intercollegiate athletics and promise for success in such a career are also factors in the selection process.

Postgraduate scholarships

The NCAA annually awards postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes who have excelled academically and athletically, and who are in their last year of intercollegiate athletics competition.

To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade-point average of 3.200 (4.000 scale) or its equivalent and must have performed with distinction as a member of the varsity team in the sport in which the student-athlete was nominated. The student-athlete also must intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a full-time or part-time graduate student.

In addition, the student-athlete must have behaved, both on and off the field, in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics.
