COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — The NFHCA recognizes 341 exceptional undergraduate student-athletes as 2025 Division I Scholars of Distinction. This honor celebrates student-athletes who earned a cumulative GPA of 3.90 or higher through the fall semester and were nominated by their NFHCA member coaches.

Notably, more than 60 honorees earned this distinction for the fourth consecutive year.

The 2025 Scholars of Distinction are presented in alphabetical order by school and then by last name below. The table is designed for easy reference, allowing for both searchability and filterability.

Two NFHCA collegiate academic awards are yet to be unveiled  — the NFHCA National Academic Team awards on February 17, and concluding with the announcement of the National Scholar-Athlete on February 19.

Individualized digital certificates will be generated following the February 27 deadline for spelling and name corrections. All correction requests must be submitted to awards@nfhca.org no later than February 27; changes received after this date cannot be accommodated.  Digital certificates will be distributed via email to the nominating coaches at each member institution by March 9, 2026.
