Programs from NCAA Division I, II, III, and the NAIA all took part in the announcement. Schools like UConn, Northern Illinois, Bucknell, and Franklin & Marshall each had multiple players named, showing strong academic and athletic balance across the sport.
Keiser Leads NAIA With Three Scholars Named
Keiser University led all NAIA programs with three honorees in 2025-26, according to Keiser University Athletics. The Seahawks had a standout season, posting an adjusted scoring average of 69.3 and eight top-5 finishes. Their best result was an 8-under 202 at the Jupiter Collegiate Invitational.
The program also made NAIA history this year. At least one Seahawk earned a spot on the NAIA Ping All-America Team for the first time ever. To qualify for the Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar award, athletes must meet a minimum GPA standard, play at least 50 percent of team rounds, and reach a set scoring threshold.

Bucknell Bison reported that Hartman and Robbins were among three Bucknell men's golfers named scholars. Hartman carried a 3.92 GPA in finance and posted a 74.0 stroke average. Robbins held a 3.80 GPA in accounting and averaged 74.8 strokes per round, placing both among the team's top performers.
At UConn, five Huskies made the list, putting the program among Division I schools with five or more honorees, according to UConn Huskies. Having five players recognized in a single year reflects strong team-wide academic commitment alongside competitive play.
