Health/PE majors or minors
Dance majors or minors

Sport Management majors or minors
Each of your student nominees will be recognized at a special “Student Majors Awards Session” to take place on Sunday, November 1st from 3:30 - 4:15 pm during the upcoming 2020 NC SHAPE Virtual State Convention.
Criteria:
Each applicant must attend a North Carolina college or university.
The applicant must be an undergraduate student majoring in one of NC SHAPE allied as seen above with a proven leadership track record of the highest quality. The exception will be for the Adapted PE Category as graduate students will be allowed to enter this category.
The recipient must be a member of NC SHAPE.
The recipient must have a minimum GPA of 3.0
There will be 5 different categories:
Health/PE Student Major of the Year;
Sport Management Student Major of the Year;

Each college or university can only submit one applicant per category. In other words, a student cannot be nominated to both the Health/PE and Adapted PE categories.
