September 19, 2024…WELLAND – The Canadian College Athletic Association has announced that 40 Niagara College Knights have been named recipients of the 2023-24 CCAA National Scholar Award.
The CCAA National Scholar Award recognizes the outstanding academic accomplishments of CCAA student-athletes. To be recognized, individuals must achieve honours standing at their respective institution in the current academic year, while competing as a member of their institution's intercollegiate sport program. At NC, a student-athlete must finish the season with an +80% average in their academic programs, demonstrating their success both on the playing field and in the classroom. This year's award winners represent seven Knights teams, women's soccer and women's basketball showed the way with nine awards each.
"Our Niagara College Knights student-athletes continue to shine in the classroom," said Director, Athletics & Student Engagement, Michele O'Keefe. "Our consistency of having our student-athletes receive this notable honour is something we take great pride in. The balance of school and varsity athletics is not easy, and we congratulate our Knights for their incredible work."
