Sport‑by‑Sport Winners: Meet the 2026 Arthur Ashe Jr. Scholars
FAIRFAX, VA (April 30, 2026) — The EDU Ledger will release its annual Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars special report edition on June 4.
The edition is part of our decades-long tradition of recognizing outstanding young men and women who have distinguished themselves in their academic and athletic pursuits.
In addition to their athletic ability, those named 2026 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars have maintained at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average, are at least sophomores academically, and participate in community service.
With over 900 scholar-athletes nominated, one male and one female athlete will be selected as Sports Scholar of the Year.
In addition to this year’s eight semifinalists, winners from each sport category nominated will also be recognized.
