Three Division I academic awards remain to be announced — the NFHCA Division I Scholars of Distinction will be announced on March 25 and the NFHCA Division I National Academic Team Awards will be released on March 29. The NFHCA Division I National Scholar-Athlete will be announced on June 15, 2021.
