CCAA National Scholar Award

Story courtesy of the CCAA

The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is pleased to announce the National Scholar Award recipients for the 2015-16 season.

The National Scholar Award is designed to recognize the outstanding academic accomplishments of CCAA student-athletes. 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 856 student-athletes were awarded the prestigious honour in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.

Congratulations to all the recipients of the CCAA National Scholar Award!
