ACC Dr. Pepper Go Teach Tuition Giveaway Scholarship
The CFP Foundation and Dr. Pepper are committed to growing the Go Teach intiative to place qualified teachers in classrooms across the nation. Over the next five year, the CFP Foundation and Dr. Pepper are awarding a collective $1.5 million in tuition to the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten,  Pac-12 and SEC conference partners to provide support and recognition for student-athletes majoring in education. In addition to the classroom resource projects, the ACC has named 15 student-athletes as recipients of the 2021 Go Teach Dr. Pepper Tuition Giveaway.

ACC Skip Prosser Award
The ACC Skip Prosser Award is presented annually to the top scholar-athlete in ACC men’s basketball.  It is named in memory of Wake Forest head basketball coach George Edward “Skip” Prosser, who passed away on July 26, 2007. Prosser compiled a 291-146 career record in 14 seasons as a head coach, including a 126-68 mark in his six years with Wake Forest. Every Wake Forest senior he coached graduated, and the Deacons placed nine players on the annual All-ACC Academic Basketball Team during his tenure.

To be nominated for the Skip Prosser Award, a student-athlete must be an upperclassman with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better – both in his career and in the previous two semesters. Sixty percent of the award is based on academic achievement and 40 percent on athletic accomplishments.

All-ACC Academic Teams
Awarded to students based on academic and athletic achievement. To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic Team, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during their academic career.

All-EAGL Scholastic Team
Since the ACC does not sponsor gymnastics, UNC Gymnasts are a part of the East Atlantic Gymnastics League. In order to be honored as a Scholastic Team member, a gymnast must be active on her school’s roster as of January 1st, and must have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above after the 2019 calendar year GPA is factored in. Freshmen are eligible with Fall 2019 semester grades only.

ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year
The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports. Candidates for the awards must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their career as well as a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters.
