2. A nominated student must have a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average, in all curricular subjects, of 93% or 3.7 on a 4.0-point scale or the equivalent. 
3. NSAA high schools or their cooperative sponsorship may nominate a maximum of two students per NSAA activity program. 

Any student, freshman through senior, is eligible for the honor.
