The Division II Academic Requirements Committee has selected the 2002 class of winners for Division II degree-completion grants.

The fund was implemented in 2001 to provide financial aid to student-athletes who want to complete their undergraduate degree but have exhausted their athletics eligibility. The initiative is modeled after a Division I program that was created in 1987.

To be eligible for the grant, student-athletes must be within 30 hours of their degree requirement.
