Applications for the 2019-2020 USA Rugby Collegiate Academic Honor Roll are now open for submission. These awards recognize and celebrate the remarkable work student-athletes contribute on and off the rugby pitch. For nearly a decade, nearly 2,500 student-athletes within the USA Rugby membership have been recognized for their achievements in the classroom.
USA Rugby Manager of Scholastic Rugby, Johnathan Atkeison noted, “Playing rugby enriches all our lives, but its most valuable contribution is teaching us lessons about the value of hard work, discipline and dedication. The Academic All-American program is an opportunity for us to recognize our collegiate student-athletes who are embodying that ideal, on and off the field.”
To submit your qualified student-athlete, any coach, team president, or club sports director may nominate deserving student athletes for recognition. A valid copy of each student’s most recent transcript must accompany the nomination.
