NCAA Division III and D3SIDA Recognition Award Announced

CoSIDA is pleased to announce the following recognition program for Division III athletic communications on-campus and conference staffs which is provided by the NCAA Division III governance staff. The NCAA Division III staff has sponsored this recognition award for SIDs in previous years and has expanded the program for 2015-16. Moving forward, NCAA Division III will offer a stipend/credit of $1,500 to each honoree to attend Division III Day at the annual CoSIDA convention.


The NCAA Division III and D3SIDA Recognition Award is a partnership between the Division III governance staff and the Division III College Sports Information Directors of America (D3SIDA) to honor the best work - including news releases, feature articles, videos, blogs and other materials - produced by Division III campus and conference athletics communication offices.

Each top honoree, named three times annually, will receive a $1,500 credit to attend Division III Day at the CoSIDA convention.
