Call for Applications

Since 1998, the NWBA Junior Division has recognized student athletes in grades 10-12 for excellence on the court as well as in the classroom through our Academic All American awards.  This year we are expanding the program to recognize student athletes in grades 5-9 with the new Academic Achievers awards.

We encourage all student athletes who have earned a "B" average or higher (3.0 on a 4.0 point scale) and are willing to complete a project to apply for this honor.

The NWBA was established after World War II to help veterans rehabilitate and integrate back into society.  Through the fearless and tireless leadership of Dr. Timothy Nugent, the scope of the organization grew over time to help many people with disabilities, regardless of origin.

We are proud to have this year's awards honor Nugent's memory.  Dr. Nugent recognized the strong power of sport as a tool to help disabled people throughout all aspects of their lives and we offer these honors in that spirit.
