Thirty one University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo student-athletes<\/a> were recipients of the Division 2 Athletics Directors Association<\/a> Academic Achievement Awards. Now in its 12th year, the program recognizes the academic accomplishments of student-athletes at the Division II<\/abbr> level.<\/p>\n

The 31 UH<\/abbr> Hilo honorees are three more than the Vulcans had in the 2017–18 school year.<\/p>\n

To be eligible, the student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher, have attended their school a minimum of two years (four semesters) and have been an active member of their team during this past academic year (including redshirts).<\/p>\n
