About The Maverick Achievement Awards
In an effort to recognize and honor outstanding athletic and academic performance for all of its athletic programs, the Maverick Achievement Awards program was initiated in 1985-86.
Requirements for the award stipulate that recipients be seniors, letterwinners and have a grade point average of 3.00 or better going into their senior year.
Nearly 600 MSU student-athletes have been honored through this program over the past 22 years. The student-athletes recognized are an elite group and personify Minnesota State's total commitment towards achieving a strong balance between academics and athletics.
