Criteria
The NYSPHSAA is proud to recognize student athletes who excel in the classroom. Too often, student athletes are only recognized for their performance in the gym or on the field. The Section VI Scholar Athlete program names Individual and Team award winners each season, each with its own criteria to meet. The awards were developed to recognize the hard work that student athletes do off the field.
Criteria for the Section VI ADPRO All-WNY Scholar Athlete Individual Award: Student must have an overall grade point average of 90 or above for six semesters (fall, winter) and seven semesters (spring); student must be a starter or important reserve; seniors only.
Criteria for Team Awards: A required number of team members must have a combined team average of 90% or higher.
