The College Squash Association (CSA) announced the recipients of the 2024–2025 CSA Scholar Athlete Award, recognizing a distinguished group of juniors and seniors who have demonstrated excellence both on and off the court.

The Scholar Athlete Award is granted to student-athletes who have competed in the majority of their team’s matches in a top-10 ladder position while achieving high academic standing at their institution. For full eligibility criteria, please click here.

This recognition reflects the CSA’s deep commitment to the core values of college squash: competitive excellence, academic integrity, and personal growth. Scholar-Athletes represent what is possible when passion for sport is matched by dedication in the classroom. These student-athletes model the discipline, focus, and determination that define the best of college athletics.

The CSA places a high value on the Scholar-Athlete Award as it embodies the dual commitment that makes college squash so special. Balancing intense training, team travel, and match play with the demands of rigorous coursework is no small task. Honoring those who manage both with distinction is one of the most meaningful moments of our season.
