List of Women's Basketball Academic All-America Team Members of the Year is a list of the annual selection by College Sports Communicators (known before 2022–23 as the College Sports Information Directors of America, or CcSIDA) and its Academic All-America sponsor of the individual athlete selected as the most outstanding of the annual Women's Basketball Academic All-America selections. From 1996 through 2011, one winner each was chosen from both the College and University Divisions for all twelve Academic All-America teams, including football. The Academic All-America program recognizes combined athletic and academic excellence of the nation's top student-athletes. The University Division team included eligible participants from National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I member schools, while the College Division team included scholar-athletes from all of the following: NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Canadian universities and colleges and two-year schools.
Beginning in 2012, CoSIDA revamped its award structure. The University Division was renamed "Division I". Since then, NCAA Divisions II and III have had their own separate All-Americans. The College Division consisted only of non-NCAA institutions through the 2017–18 school year, after which it was effectively replaced by an NAIA division restricted to members of that governing body.[1][a]
Currently, each team selects Academic All-District honorees in eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada.
History
As of January 31, 2024[update], Stanford University has had the most women's basketball Academic All-America honorees (17 and one more than Ashland University),[6] but only Chiney Ogwumike has been recognized with this award.[7]
Several of the Women's Basketball Academic All-America of the Year winners have gone on to win the overall Academic All-America of the Year.[8]
Several have been repeat winners of this award.[7] 2024 NAIA winner, Grace Beyer, was the first women's basketball three-time winner.[9]
