JSU partners with NCAA for its Champions for Academic Greatness
Jackson State University and President Carolyn W. Meyers hosted the final "930 Initiative" for its Champions for Academic Greatness on Friday, Nov. 6, at the JSU Downtown Campus, 101 Capitol Street. The program is part of the NCAA's Limited-Resource Institutions Grant Program Pilot, which aims to boost the Academic Progress Rate (APR) of student-athletes. In 2012, JSU was awarded $900,000 to be dispersed over three years. According to NCAA rules, teams must earn a 930 four-year average or a 940 average over the most recent two years to participate in NCAA championships. At JSU, APR scores for student-athletes have consistently trended upward.
