The National Scholar Award is designed to recognize the outstanding academic accomplishments of CCAA student athletes.
"Playing on a varsity team and attaining a 3.7 grade point average is not something for everyone,” said David Munro, athletics director at UNB Saint John. “These students have worked hard to reach this level of achievement and we are very proud of them."
To be recognized, a student athlete must achieve honours standing at their institution in the current academic year. From last year's 94 CCAA member institutions, 1,111 student athletes were awarded the prestigious honour in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.
Maggie Birney, Kaitlin Casey, Jenna DeGooyer and Logan Perry and were also named CCAA Academic All-Canadians.
Honourees must attain academic honours at their institution in addition to being named to their member conference All-Star team (first or second) in soccer, volleyball, or basketball.
