Demons land $100K AASP grant from NCAA

For the third straight year, the Northwestern State Athletic Department has secured one of the NCAA’s Accelerating Academic Success Program’s grants.

The $100,000 grant is the largest amount available through the AASP grant program, which is open to schools in the Football Championship Subdivision or classified as an HBCU (Historically Black College and University).

Established in 2012, the AASP assists Division I schools working to meet the NCAA’s academic standards.
