MANSFIELD, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference announced on Tuesday its list of 22 student-athletes that have been nominated for its prestigious 2024-25 Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards.
Eligibility requirements for nomination are that a student-athlete must be in their final year of athletic eligibility, graduating with a degree in May (unless in a master's program), must be enrolled in a full-time course load and must have a minimum final cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or better.
