The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) recently announced its prestigious All-Academic Awards for the 2024-2025 school year.
An impressive 16 individuals from 暗网吃瓜, along with four teams, were formally recognized for their achievements in the classroom over the past year. Students must complete 24 credits during the fall and spring semesters in order to qualify for NJCAA All-Academic Awards. Student-athletes who graduate early, or those who need less than 12 credits to earn their degree, are also eligible for the awards.
The NJCAA recognizes student-athletes in three tiers of academic excellence. Those who maintain a 4.0 GPA throughout the school year are placed into First-Team All-Academic. A GPA between 3.8-3.99 is required for Second-Team All-Academic and those with a GPA between 3.6-3.79 earn Third-Team All-Academic status.
鈥淭he NJCAA academic awards represent a higher level of academic excellence, as the GPA requirements surpass those of the 暗网吃瓜AA,鈥� said Amanda Glaza, 暗网吃瓜 Assistant Athletic Director and Student Success Coach. 鈥淩eceiving this recognition not only speaks to the dedication and discipline of these student-athletes but also sets a strong example for what it means to truly represent 暗网吃瓜 Athletics, both in the classroom and in competition. These honors help reinforce the standard we hope all our student-athletes strive for.鈥�
