The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) announced its individual and team 2024 Academic Award recipients.  This year, the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) is represented by six student-athletes and five men's lacrosse programs.

In order to receive academic recognition from the USILA, teams or individuals must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.00.

The MIAA programs that were deemed USILA All-Academic Teams include Adrian College, Albion College, Calvin University, Kalamazoo College, and Trine University.

A Scholar All-American must be nominated by his coach and be a student with a senior year academic standing and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale).  He will have behaved in a manner that has brought credit to himself, his institution, and to college lacrosse both on and off the field.  He must also be an All-American, a member of a North/South team, or an outstanding league or conference player.  Please note that simply being a member of the North/South team and/or being All League/Conference does not make the Student-Athlete a lock for the award.  Each Individual will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the Scholar AA committee.

The six student-athletes representing the conference on the USILA Scholar All-American Team are Albion's Timmy Salinas, Calvin's Ethan Boelens, Hope College's David Brace and Blaine Hynde, Kalamazoo's Samuel Hughes, and Trine's Nicholas DiPaolo.
