Hall of Fame

Information: The UIAAA Hall of Fame is organized as a means of recognizing interscholastic athletic administrators, promoting the vocation of athletic administration and preserving the heritage of the profession. This honor is the highest an athletic administrator can receive from the UIAAA for his/her contributions and accomplishments at the local, state and national level. Further this award sets a standard for athletic administrators to emulate. All nominees shall have merited recognition and distinction in athletic administration and long term contributions to interscholastic athletics. While many have served programs over a long and distinguished career, their accomplishments must have been worthy of state and/or national recognition for them to be considered. Longevity without significant accomplishments does not constitute appropriate credentials for the UIAAA Hall of Fame consideration. Nominees must be retired as a school or district athletic administrator. Nominations will be taken from current athletic administrators who are members of the UIAAA.
Application: Due December 31


Student Athlete Scholarships

Information: Each year, the UIAAA also awards local scholarships, with winners having a chance to continue on to the national level. The scholarships will recognize the distinguished scholastic, leadership and sportsmanship attributes of high school student-athletes, and the importance of high school athletics in each student’s life.
