The award, which was initiated during the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team GPA on a 4.0 scale. Houston Volleyball posted greater than a 3.20 team GPA over the last academic year with more than half of the team earning a spot on the University's Dean's List.
