NCAA DEGREE-COMPLETION AWARD

The application for the NCAA Division I Degree-Completion Award for the fall/spring 2009-10 term is now available at:

http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=1086

To be considered for this award, the student-athlete must have completed eligibility at an NCAA Division I member institution; enrolled originally in or before September, 2004; exhausted institutional eligibility for athletics-related aid (five years) and be within 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of completing an undergraduate degree.

All of the applications are reviewed by a committee of representatives from seven NCAA Division I member institutions. Funds ordinarily allow awards to be made to less than one-half of the applicants. Therefore, it is important to stress to your students that they must fill out the application completely and provide all supporting documents in order to be considered for this award.

The completed application and supporting documents must be mailed to me at the national office and be postmarked not later than May 22. The committee will make its decisions on funding by June 30.

Are you planning to participate in this Saturday’s Race to the Pub on Saturday, March 12, or just need an extra incentive to sign up?

The good news is that The Network benefits from race proceeds IF we can get 100 runners to sign up for the event. What could be a better reason to sign up?! Runners can register online at the link below, pick up entry forms at Fleet Feet Sports, or at 317 on March 12th.
