July 2, 2009
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – University of Northern Iowa senior Mat Clark has been awarded one of the NCAA’s 58 postgraduate scholarships.
Clark finished his athletic career ranked second on the all-time best list at UNI in both the men’s decathlon and heptathlon. The Ames, Iowa native earned three All-America citations along with a Missouri Valley Conference crown and six All-MVC honors in the multi-events. Academically, Clark was named to the ESPN The Magazine All-America team both as a junior and as a senior.
The winners (29 men and 29 women) represent spring-sports participants who will receive one-time, nonrenewable grants of $7,500. The NCAA previously identified postgraduate scholars for fall and winter sports seasons.
The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition. The Association awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women.
The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Program was created in 1964 to promote and encourage postgraduate education by rewarding the Association’s most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in NCAA sports. Click here for more information about NCAA postgraduate scholarships.
