2025 N4A Model Practices Award Nomination

2025 Model Practices Award Nomination

The Model Practices Award is given annually to a N4A-affiliated college or university that displays best practices in their programming for student-athletes. N4A will award two (2) Model Practices Awards - one in the area of academics and one in the area of student-athlete development. Institutions may submit one or more nominations in each category.

In order to be considered, an institution must submit a completed nomination form and demonstrate the program's effectiveness through the submission of a 3,000 word (maximum) narrative that outlines the following components:

Goals & Objectives
Program Description
Program Evaluation
Program Outcomes
Potential for Adaptation
Challenges & Obstacles

All nomination materials must be received no later than Sunday, March 30.

Following the nomination deadline, the N4A Model Practices Committee will review materials for all nominees and select each of the recipients based upon innovativeness and use of creativity; recognizable, effective and measurable results; and applicability/replicability of the best practice. The award winners will be notified by mid to late April.

If you have questions please reach out to Kristin Williams @ khenke@memphis.edu.
