About the Program
The National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) PlayMaker of the Month award program recognizes the academic achievement and community service of student-athletes at NCAS member institutions. Many times, student-athletes’ work in the classroom and within the community go unnoticed. PlayMaker of the Month gives coaches, administrators, teammates, and faculty of NCAS member institutions an opportunity to nominate and recognize those student-athletes who exemplify the NCAS motto of “Changing Lives Through the Power of Sport.” PlayMaker of the Month recipients are recognized in the months of October through June.
