Blues Earn National Scholar Status

Blues Earn National Scholar Status

Brent Mutis, CapU Sport Information & Compliance Officer

The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) National Scholars have been announced for the 2020-21 school year and record 37 Blues student-athletes earned a spot on the list.

To be recognized as a CCAA National Scholar, student-athletes must achieve honours standing which is a grade-point average of 3.50 or better for the academic year.

The 37 Blues listed ties Vancouver Island University for the most in the PACWEST conference and is an increase from the 26 Blues listed for the 2019-20 year.
