MENOMONIE (April 17, 2020) - Over the course of the next week, the UW-Stout Athletic Department will be shining the spotlight on our Scholar-Athletes and there is no better week to turn the spotlight on than during Division III Week, April 13-19. It's easy to follow the athletic endeavors of our student-athletes, but the academic side does not always get it's due. Our intent is to highlight the student side of many of our more than 400 student-athletes.
The UW-Stout Scholar Athlete Award is given to student-athletes with a cumulative 3.50 grade point average in the semester preceding their final season of eligibility. This is the ninth year of the UW-Stout Scholar-Athlete program, which was instituted by UW-Stout Athletic Faculty Representatives
Jo Hopp and
Brian Finder in 2012. The program has grown from 18 senior scholar-athletes and 76 underclassmen during the first year of the program to this year's 31 senior scholar-athletes and 127 underclassmen.
