The Division II Athletics Directors Association recently announced its annual list of recipients for the 2025 Division II ADA Academic Achievement Awards – a list that includes 83 student-athletes from Francis Marion University.

The Academic Achievement Awards is a program that recognizes the academic accomplishments of student-athletes at the NCAA Division II level. In order to receive the Academic Achievement Award, student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or higher, have attended a minimum of two years (four semesters) of college, and have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during their last academic year.

FMU student-athletes were part of 1,177 Academic Achievement Award honorees from the Conference Carolinas. For the first time since inception, there were more than 20,000 student-athletes recognized (22,756) from a record 202 institutions for the 2024-25 Academic Achievement Awards.
