HOW DO I APPLY?

Student-athletes must be nominated by the institution's Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) or a FAR designee (preferably an individual in academics).

The FAR or FAR designee is responsible for determining the student-athlete's eligibility to be nominated and for coordinating the completion and submission of the nomination. Each NCAA member institution may nominate no more than five student-athletes per gender, per season. The nomination and supporting information will be accepted only when it is submitted before the sport season's submission deadline. Please read or listen to all instructions before beginning the online submission process.

Online Submission System - The FAR or FAR designee must use the NCAA ID and password to gain access to the online nomination submission system.

The FAR or FAR designee may save the nomination and complete it at a later time or submit via the online nomination system.
Once the FAR or FAR designee selects to submit the nomination, the following takes place:

The system generates a no-reply confirmation e-mail message including a link so progress of completion of the other sections of the nomination may be monitored and viewed.
The system generates no-reply e-mail messages to the student-athlete, the head coach, the athletics administrator and the academic professor. Each of these individuals must complete and submit their portion of the online nomination in order for the nomination to be considered complete.

The FAR or FAR designee sends the student- athlete's official transcript(s) by mail to the NAA national office.
Updates of awards and honors earned by the student-athlete after the deadline and before final selections, as well as final statistics, should be e-mailed immediately to your regional selection committee chair and to the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship coordinator at the NCAA national office. Please include the student-athlete's name, sport and institution in the message.
