To be eligible for the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence, a senior student-athlete must meet the following criteria:
- Must be a graduating NE10 student-athlete.
- Must attain the Latin honor of Magna Cum Laude or better.
- Must have participated in at least two seasons of NE10 competition and is a current student-athlete at the time of graduation.
Each award recipient has received a commemorative NE10 medallion for their academic achievements.
"These student-athletes have mastered the balance of responsibilities in both an academic and athletic setting," said Ruppert. "Having the ability to manage time, set goals, and see them through until accomplished is what has made and will continue to make NE10 student-athletes successful in the next chapter of their lives."
The NCAA's Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence honors institutions who achieve an academic success rate (ASR) of 90 percent or higher. This past December, the NE10 had seven of its institutions earn this distinction – more than half of the league's entire membership.
