NCAA Division I Degree-Completion Award Program

This program was established to assist student-athletes who could not complete their education during their five-year eligibility period. The program has two award opportunities annually, one in June, for the Fall/Spring terms; and one in October for the Winter/Spring/Summer terms. I want to let you know that we are currently taking applications for our next award opportunity and the application is currently available on the NCAA Web site.

The application deadline is April 6, 2010.

To be eligible for the award an applicant MUST:

1.Be a student-athlete who has completed eligibility at an NCAA Division I member institution.

2.Be within 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours) of completion of his/her first undergraduate degree. Students enrolled in programs that extend beyond the baccalaureate degree or enrolled in graduate programs are not eligible (e.g., PharmD)

3.Have received athletics-related financial aid.

4.Be entering at least his/her sixth year of post-secondary education, and shall have exhausted institutional eligibility (five years) for athletics-related aid.
