KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The Division 2 Athletic Directors Association (D2 ADA) announced its 2025-26 Academic Honor Roll this week, and Kutztown was represented by 132 student-athletes.
 
For the seventh time in the past eight years, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference led the nation in D2 ADA Academic Achievement Awards. The PSAC tallied 1,969 honorees for the 2025-26 season, the most in Division II by over 350 student-athletes, and had 11 institutions total at least 90 honorees.
 
The Academic Achievement Awards, in its 19th year, is a program that recognizes the academic accomplishments of student-athletes at the Division II level in NCAA championship sponsored sports.
 
For a student-athlete to qualify for the award, they must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, have completed a minimum of two years (four semesters) of college level work at a two-year and/or four-year institution and also been an active member of an intercollegiate team during the last academic year.
 
"In year 19, this program continues its dedication to celebrating the exceptional student-athletes who define excellence across our Division II landscape," said Jenn Bell, associate VP and director of athletics at Converse University and current D2 ADA President. "We're proud to recognize more than 21,000 deserving student-athletes from 179 institutions, reflecting the tremendous dedication within our division — not only in athletics, but in the classroom as well. This year's submissions, from both individuals and schools, serve as a testament to the Division II way. Thanks to the administrators who nominated these outstanding individuals, and much-deserved congratulations to all this year's recipients."
