DCSAA ALL-STATE ACADEMIC TEAM AWARD
The District of Columbia State Athletic Association (DCSAA) is committed to recognizing the academic achievements of our student-athletes. Our partner United Bank provides up to $15,000 in scholarships for student-athletes that display good sportsmanship, excel in the classroom and as leaders in their communities. As students first and athletes second, the DCSAA takes pride in celebrating academic accomplishments as well as athletic endeavors. Each year the DCSAA recognizes and rewards honor roll student-athletes, those who achieve at least a 3.0 GPA, for their individual accomplishment. As important as individual awards are, we recognize that sports inherently focus on the team and the collaborative effort of students and coaches. As is such, the DCSAA will now present an All-State Academic Team Award as well. The All-State Academic Team Award will be given to one team per season that exhibits outstanding academic achievement during the school year’s first quarter of play for that sport. This award, bestowed in the form of a banner, is intended to promote a shared sense of academic drive and foster an environment of mutual accountability in the classroom.
