The 950 recipients of UAA All-Academic Recognition represent approximately 81 percent of the total eligible UAA student-athletes – members of all teams who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study. Percentages varied by institution with a high of 93.7 percent of eligible student-athletes earning All-Academic honors. Percentages among sports varied with a high of 83.2 percent of eligible indoor track and field athletes receiving All-Academic recognition.
The UAA Presidents Council established a program of All-Academic recognition in April 1998. Qualifying student-athletes are recognized at the completion of the fall, winter, and spring seasons each year. The honor is intended to recognize the high level of academic achievement demonstrated by student-athletes who effectively balance their significant commitment of time, effort, and energy in athletic endeavor with their highly challenging academic responsibilities.

Eight student-athletes were among those awarded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. A remarkable 259 Association student-athletes received All-America honors in team or individual sports. In addition, six UAA teams won NCAA Division III titles, and four more teams earned runner-up finishes in NCAA championships.
