NCPA ACADEMIC ALL-STATE AWARDS

NCPA ACADEMIC ALL-STATE AWARDS
It is important that your school establish a process for identifying those students who
may qualify for consideration based first on their cumulative GPA average for this
award. The coaches/directors of your school’s NSAA Activities Programs are an
important part of any process to select eligible students based on their academic
excellence, leadership and contributions to your fine arts and athletic programs.
The NCPA Academic All-State Nomination Form is accessible through your school’s
Activities or Athletic Director’s personal page. The form must be completed on-line and
submitted directly to the NSAA Office through the website submit function.
