NEW: Five-Star Award Winners Announced
Each year, NAIA schools use the Champions of Character scorecard to measure the pursuit of character-driven athletics. Schools scoring a minimum of 60 out of 100 points earn the Champions of Character Five-Star Institution Award. Conferences earn the Five-Star Conference Award based in part on at least 50% of their schools being named Five-Star Institution Award winners.
For 2021-22, 157 NAIA institutions and 20 conferences earned the Champions of Character Five-Star Award. The complete list of winning institutions can be found here and winning conferences can be found here.
