The NCAA has awarded postgraduate scholarships of $5,000 each to 58 student-athletes (29 men and 29 women) who participate in fall sports at member institutions.

The NCAA annually awards 174 postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes who have excelled academically and athletically and who are in their last year of intercollegiate athletics competition. The selections are made by the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Committee. Later this year, the committee will select 116 postgraduate scholarship recipients (58 men and 58 women) who participate in winter and spring sports.

To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade-point average of 3.000 (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 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.

Following is a list of the most recent 2000-01 NCAA postgraduate scholarship winners, with school, sport and major.
