MASCAC :

Howard C. Smith Scholar Athlete Award

This award has been presented annually since 1980 to a male and/or female student athlete who has excelled in academics and athletics while attending a Massachusetts State College. This award is named in honor of Howard C. Smith, a former State College Trustee, who was largely responsible for the formation of the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference and the acceptance of intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the State College Education System.

To be considered for this award a student athlete must be nominated by the Director of Athletics of a member institution and must have achieved at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average. The student athlete must be in his or her last year of athletic eligibility. The recipients are selected by the MASCAC Athletic Directors in voting conducted at the annual meeting by the Director of Media Relations.

The Howard C Smith Award winners for the 2006-2007 academic year were Ben Colby of Framingham State College and Sarah Peltokangas of Fitchburg State College.
