A total of 122 University of Nebraska student-athletes were honored Monday afternoon with the release of the 2024-25 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award recipients.
To earn the award, athletes must have recorded a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year. Nebraska’s 122 honorees combined for 134 awards with 12 multi-sport athletes on the list.
Special recognition goes to 35 athletes who posted perfect 4.0 GPAs during 2024-25. The list of 4.0 GPAs is listed below.
Big Ten Faculty Representatives established the Distinguished Scholar Award in 2008 to supplement the Academic All-Big Ten program. Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must have earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition in the previous academic year, must have been enrolled full time at the institution for the entire previous academic year (two semesters or three quarters) and earned a minimum GPA of 3.70 or better during the previous academic year, excluding any summer grades. The Academic All-Big Ten threshold is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for a student's academic career.
