MANAHAWKIN, NJ — The NFHCA proudly honors more than 275 outstanding undergraduate student-athletes from over 70 institutions who have achieved recognition as 2024 Division I Scholars of Distinction. This program acknowledges exceptional undergraduate student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.9 or higher through the fall semester, nominated by their NFHCA member coaches.

Monmouth University paced the pack, landing 12 student-athletes on the list, while Michigan State University and University of Louisville each placed 11.

Impressively, more than 40 honorees earned this distinction for the fourth consecutive year.

The 2024 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 prestigious Division I academic awards are yet to be unveiled  — the NFHCA National Academic Team awards on February 18, and concluding with the announcement of the National Scholar-Athlete on February 20.

Individualized digital certificates will be generated following the February 28 deadline for any spelling corrections. Email any spelling spelling or name corrections to awards@nfhca.org no later than February 28. Any corrections made after that cannot be modified.
