The Committee on Women’s Athletics understands that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted student-athletes both in the cancellation of all remaining 2020 winter and spring championships and in modifications to the academic year by most member schools. These factors will be taken into consideration for the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year nomination cycle. As a reminder, the Woman of the Year Selection Committee and the Committee on Women’s Athletics will review and consider achievements, honors and special recognitions from throughout the nominee’s time as a student-athlete.

The selection committee will determine the top 10 honorees in each division and the top three honorees in each division using the guidelines outlined below. The Committee on Women’s Athletics also will follow these guidelines when evaluating nominees from Divisions I, II and III and when selecting the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year winner.

Scoring for the academic achievement section is based on the undergraduate cumulative grade-point average of the nominee. NCAA staff will score the athletics excellence section. The selection committee will score only the service/leadership section and the personal statement.

Personal statement — 10% of total score, using a scale of 1 to 5.

The nominee should describe in 500 words or fewer how her experiences as a scholar, an athlete and a leader on her campus and in her community have influenced her life and empowered her to have a positive impact on the world. While the personal statement is intended to address the nominee’s overall experience, the nominee may use a portion of her statement to describe how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her.

The personal statement is an opportunity to highlight significant successes, experiences and challenges that have been instrumental in the nominee’s overall growth and development. Nominees are encouraged to highlight accomplishments that may not be reflected in the rating scales (for example, engaging in a scholarly research project, having an impact on girls and women through a service project, or earning the opportunity to compete on a national team).

5: The nominee eloquently explains her experiences as a student-athlete using poignant examples to illustrate her significant growth and development. She provides insightful analysis of and appreciation for how she can have a positive impact on the world.

4: The nominee effectively explains her experiences as a student-athlete using appropriate examples to illustrate her growth and development. She provides a perceptive understanding of how she can have a positive impact on the world.

3: The nominee communicates her experiences as a student-athlete using multiple examples to illustrate her growth and development. She presents a clear understanding of how she can have a positive impact on the world.

2: The nominee communicates her experiences as a student-athlete using at least one example to make a connection to her growth and development. She offers a basic understanding of how she can have a positive impact on the world.

1: The nominee lists some of her experiences as a student-athlete and refers in some way to how she can have a positive impact on the world. 

Service and leadership — 30% of total score, using a scale of 1 to 5.

A chart has been designed to present an organizational picture of the nominee’s service and leadership involvement. The nominee should list community service, campus and leadership activities, including any special recognitions, accomplishments or leadership positions, dates of participation and a brief description of activities performed or responsibilities. If the COVID-19 pandemic affected the nominee’s planned 2020 service, campus or leadership activities, that may be noted in the chart.

5: The nominee engages consistently in extensive service and leadership activities that impact the campus, community and/or regional or national levels. The nominee makes the most of opportunities presented to her by taking on key roles and is creative and innovative in seeking out meaningful service and leadership opportunities.

4: The nominee engages consistently in service and leadership activities and plays a significant role in impacting the campus and community in a meaningful way.

3: The nominee is involved consistently in service and leadership activities that positively affect her campus.

2: The nominee is involved in some service and leadership activities at various points in her collegiate career.

1: The nominee is involved in a few service or leadership activities that are mostly one-time or short-term events.

Academic achievement — 30% of total score, using a scale of 1 to 5.

Score is based on undergraduate cumulative GPA.

5: 3.90-4.00 GPA

4: 3.70-3.89 GPA

3: 3.50-3.69 GPA 

2: 3.30-3.49 GPA  

1: 3.00-3.29 GPA 

Nominees must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 to be eligible to be nominated; however, a GPA of 3.00 or higher is needed to score points for academic achievement. 

Please note that the nominee has the opportunity to emphasize significant academic achievements in her personal statement and in the academic achievement section.

Athletics excellence — 30% of total score, using a scale of 1 to 5.

Score is based on the nominee’s highest honor of all listed athletics accomplishments. Nominees should include all 2019-20 athletics honors and awards received to date. Nominees should list with an asterisk any applicable individual or team honors that were not awarded or finalized due to the COVID-19 pandemic (for example, named as one of three finalists for 2020 player of the year; player of the year honor was not awarded). 

5: Team or individual national champion; first-team athletics All-America honors.

4: Athletics All-America honors other than first team.

3: Regional All-America honors; team or individual conference champion; first-team athletics all-conference honors.

2: Athletics all-conference honors other than first team.

1: Multisport varsity letter.

All-America honors must be awarded by the sport’s coaches association or a nationally recognized awards association for the sport (for example, the Associated Press).

The Committee on Women’s Athletics understands that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted student-athletes both in the cancellation of all remaining 2020 winter and spring championships and in modifications to the academic year by most member schools. For 2020 only, these factors will be taken into consideration for the NCAA Woman of the Year nomination cycle. As a reminder, the Woman of the Year Selection Committee and the Committee on Women’s Athletics will review and consider achievements, honors and special recognitions from throughout the nominee’s time as a student-athlete.

Should a student-athlete whose 2020 winter or spring championship was canceled be nominated for Woman of the Year?

Yes. Athletics scoring is based on the nominee’s athletics accomplishments from throughout her collegiate career. Even if a student-athlete’s 2020 winter or spring championship was canceled, she may be nominated for Woman of the Year, provided she otherwise satisfies the nomination criteria of competing and earning a varsity letter in an NCAA-sponsored sport at least one year. It is not a requirement that the nominee competed and earned a varsity letter in 2019-20.

Can a student-athlete whose 2019-20 academic year was changed to online instruction, pass/fail grading or other modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic be nominated for Woman of the Year?

Yes. Academics scoring is based on the nominee’s undergraduate cumulative GPA as determined by her institution. Even if a student-athlete’s 2019-20 academic year was modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she may be nominated for the Woman of the Year, provided she satisfies nomination criteria.

If a student-athlete would have earned her undergraduate degree by summer 2020 but did not because of modifications to the academic year and the COVID-19 pandemic, can she still be nominated?

Yes. If the nominee can demonstrate that she would have earned her undergraduate degree by summer 2020 if not for the COVID-19 pandemic, she can still be nominated for Woman of the Year. The nominee will have the opportunity to explain the situation in the nomination form.

Can a spring student-athlete who receives an extension waiver or a season-of-competition/participation waiver in her primary sport due to the 2020 spring regular season and championships being canceled be nominated for Woman of the Year?

Yes. A student-athlete who receives an extension waiver or a season of competition/participation waiver in her primary sport due to the cancellation of the 2020 spring regular season and championships may be nominated for the 2020 Woman of the Year, provided she otherwise satisfies nomination criteria.

Can a student-athlete who receives an extension waiver or a season-of-competition/participation waiver in her primary sport due to the cancellation of the 2020 spring regular season and championships be nominated for the 2021 Woman of the Year?

Yes. A student-athlete who receives an extension waiver or a season-of-participation waiver in her primary sport due to the cancellation of the 2020 spring regular season and championships may be nominated for the 2021 Woman of the Year, provided she was not a Top 30 honoree in 2020 and otherwise satisfies nomination criteria.

Can a student-athlete who meets eligibility requirements and is nominated for the 2020 Woman of the Year also be nominated for the 2021 Woman of the Year if she received an extension waiver and continues to meet eligibility requirements?

Yes. A student-athlete who receives an extension waiver or a season-of-competition/participation waiver due to cancellation of the 2020 spring championships and was nominated for the 2020 Woman of the Year, may be nominated again for the 2021 Woman of the Year, provided she was not a Top 30 honoree and otherwise satisfies nomination criteria.

Should a student-athlete describe in her personal statement how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her?

The personal statement should describe how the nominee’s experiences as a scholar, an athlete and a leader on her campus or in her community have influenced her life and empowered her to have a positive impact on the world. While the personal statement is intended to address the nominee’s overall experience, a student-athlete may use a portion of her personal statement to describe how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her.

Should a student-athlete note if the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her planned 2020 community service or campus activities?

Yes. If a student-athlete had committed to community service or campus activities that were subsequently canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this should be noted in the nomination form. However, the service and leadership section is intended to address the student-athlete’s overall collegiate experience.

Should a student-athlete note if the modified 2019-20 academic year impacted her 2020 academic achievements?

If specific academic honors, projects or special recognitions were not finalized due to the modified academic year, this should be noted within the academic achievements section of the nomination form. A student-athlete also may use a portion of her personal statement to describe how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her academic achievement. However, the academic achievements section and personal statement are intended to address the student-athlete’s overall collegiate experience.

Should a student-athlete note if the cancellation of 2020 winter and spring championships impacted individual or team honors that were not finalized?

Yes. Any applicable individual or team honors that were in progress but not finalized due to the COVID-19 pandemic should be noted within the athletics achievements section of the nomination form (for example, named as one of three finalists for 2020 player of the year; player of the year honor was not awarded). Nominators and student-athletes should not speculate regarding awards or honors that may have been earned if the winter/spring championships had not been canceled.

Fagan, Clifford B.	National Federation of State High School Associations	20 years service			Special Recognition Award

Named in recognition of Pat Summitt, the award recognizes an individual in the Association’s membership who has demonstrated devotion to the development of college athletes and has made a positive impact on their lives. It was established in 2017 by NCAA President Mark Emmert.

Award recipients are selected annually by the NCAA president and will receive a $10,000 honorarium to donate to the organization of the honoree’s choice that combats or researches neurological diseases of the brain.

Summitt was the women’s basketball head coach at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, from 1974 to 2012. She amassed a record 1,098 wins, eight NCAA championships and 32 Southeastern Conference titles. A five-time Naismith Coach of the Year, she also served as an associate athletics director at Tennessee and a member of the board of directors for the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.

Off the court, Summitt saw every student-athlete she coached who completed eligibility earn an undergraduate degree — gaining for her program a 100 percent Graduation Success Rate throughout her career.

In August 2011, Summitt announced that she had been diagnosed with early onset dementia, and in November 2011, she created the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund, with proceeds going toward research for cognitive diseases. In 2012, President Barack Obama presented Summitt with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Summitt died in June 2016.
