MEAC sophomore, junior, and senior student-athletes with a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average, as well as transfer student-athletes who have been in residence at the institution for at least one year, are eligible for All-Academic accolades.

"Congratulations to our bowling student-athletes, who maintained a 3.0 or better grade point average, during the 2015-16 academic year," said Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas.
