Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet

At UNC, we are fortunate to have a number of student-athletes who have achieved elite status both in the classroom and in their sport. The Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet is held each year to celebrate and recognize our Tar Heel student-athletes’ achievements and excellence in the classroom.

For the 2023-2024 academic year we were able to recognize the 537 UNC Student-Athletes named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll. We also had 372 Tar Heel Scholar-Athletes who earned this distinction by achieving an average of at least a 3.2 GPA in both the Spring 2023 and Fall 2023 semesters.

We have the distinct privilege of honoring our Top Ten Scholar-Athletes (pictured below) at the annual Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet. These students are the five male and five female senior student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade point averages. The ten students being honored include undergraduate researchers, postgraduate scholarship winners, teaching assistants and Phi Beta Kappa inductees.They have graduated with an average GPA of 3.89.
