Forty-seven student-athletes highlight more than 1,500 who earned selection to the 2012-13 Missouri Valley Conference Honor Roll, as announced by the league office. Those 47 student-athletes earned the league’s highest academic achievement by capturing the Missouri Valley Conference President’s Council Academic Excellence Award.

The University of Evansville, who is the defending winner of the MVC Academic Award, is well represented on the list, led by five student-athletes posting a GPA of 3.8 or above on their way to garnering President’s Council Academic Excellence Award honors.

The President's Council Academic Excellence Award requires a minimum 3.8 cumulative grade point average (through Fall 2012 semester), participation in athletics a minimum of two years, and the student-athlete must be within 18 hours of graduation.

Freshmen are not eligible.

In addition, the Missouri Valley Conference has announced its 2012-13 Honor Roll, which recognizes academic achievement of student-athletes.
