CoSIDA Academic All-America® Program

CoSIDA began this program in the 1950s, and since then, has honored thousands of deserving student-athletes from numerous sports and across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors.

Student-athletes are nominated by current CoSIDA members. Voting for Academic All-District™ (First, Second and possible Third Team members are named) is done by current CoSIDA members. Those who obtain First Team All-District status move onto the national Academic All-America® ballot; these national awards (First Team, Second Team, Third Team for each sport category) are voted upon by Academic All-America® Committee members and current CoSIDA Board of Directors.
