Woman of the Year

The NCAA Woman of the Year program, established in 1991, honors the academic achievements, athletic excellence, community service and leadership of graduating women student-athletes from all three NCAA divisions. Hundreds of student-athletes are nominated by their schools each year, with conferences recognizing their top selections. Each fall, the Top 30 honorees, 10 from each division, are named. The NCAA Woman of the Year is then selected from among those finalists and celebrated during the NCAA Convention.
