The Division III Commissioners' Association (DIIICA) established its Student-Athlete of the Year awards for Men's and Women's Sports in 2022. The award recognizes graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service, and leadership.
Voting is conducted by the commissioners within each of the ten NCAA regions, with the top men’s sport and women’s sport honorees recognized as finalists for the Awards Committee to select the Division III Commissioner's Association Men's Sport and Women's Sport Student-Athlete of the Year. The awards are sponsored by Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society.
