BIRMINGHAM — UAB track and field student-athlete Milãn Brown was one of 68 recipients nationwide of the 2020-21 Academic Momentum Award, announced by the Scholar Baller® program in conjunction with the Institute for Sport & Social Justice (ISSJ) on Tuesday.
Brown, a civil engineering major, was one of 18 student-athletes named to the Second Team. In addition, she is one of four Conference USA student-athletes to receive the recognition.
Top nominations were categorized into three teams based on each student-athlete's academic improvement and the impact each student-athlete's academic performance had on his or her classmates, teammates, academic advisors and professors.
Established in 1995, the Scholar Baller® movement evolved in response to concerns that the student-athlete's athletics role increasingly superseded the student role. In order to address this issue, the founding members developed a groundbreaking program to bridge the gap between education and sport utilizing student-athletes' passion for entertainment and athletics.
As a result, the Scholar Baller® program continues to produce unprecedented outcomes in student retention, academic achievement, and career development.
