January 16, 2019 | By
Do you have seniors on your team who excel in the pool AND in the classroom? They can be All Americans! NISCA (National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association) offers opportunities for both individuals and teams who are putting in the work in the classroom as well as the pool.
SwimOutlet.com has partnered with NISCA since 2013 and is a presenting sponsor of the SwimOutlet.com Scholar Team program.
The NISCA Academic All America program recognizes graduating high school seniors who have a 3.75 on a 4.0 scale (or 93.75% of the school grading scale) for 7 semester or 11 trimesters who have earned a varsity letter in your high school program (swimming, diving or water polo) during their senior year. In order to be accepted, an application must be filled out on the NISCA website, and a copy of the athletes transcript and signatures are required. For more information about the rules and requirements, see the NISCA Website under Award Programs/All America Academic.
The SwimOutlet.com Scholar Team program honors teams that are outstanding in the classroom. There are 3 levels of awards for the average team GPA after 1 semester or 2 trimesters of the current school year: Gold = 3.750-4.000, Silver - 3.500-3.749, Bronze = 3.200 - 3.499 based on a 4.0 scale. To be considered a team, the group must be Varsity level with a minimum of 12 athletes participating. In order to be considered for the SwimOutlet.com Scholar Team award, an application must be filled out on the NISCA website. You can find the rules and requirements for the SwimOutlet.com Scholar Team program on the NISCA website under Award Programs/Scholar Team.
