BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Big Ten Conference announced on Wednesday students competing in intercollegiate athletics that have earned the Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award. The list includes students from every institution and 38 different sports who have recorded a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year. Senior Elliott Yee and junior Matthew McCoy earned spots on the list.
A total of 34 IU student-athletes from 14 different sports were named to list prestigious list of honorees. Four Hoosiers, including Yee, achieved 4.0 GPAs for the previous academic year.
Big Ten Faculty Representatives established the Distinguished Scholar Award in 2008 to supplement the Academic All-Big Ten program. Similar to the Academic All-Big Ten honor, Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must be letterwinners in at least their second academic year at their institution. However, the Distinguished Scholar Award encompasses only students with a minimum GPA of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year, excluding summer school. The Academic All-Big Ten threshold is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for a student's academic career.
