SEATTLE – Husky senior Tim Luebbert has earned a huge honor, winning an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. A two-time top-five conference placer in the triple jump during his UW career, Luebbert will be heading to Oxford in the fall to pursue a Master of Philosophy in Politics.
Luebbert is one of just 21 men across all sports and divisions to earn the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship this quarter. It carries a $10,000 prize.
Luebbert was already a recipient of a Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship, announced in June. The native of Leipzig, Germany earned his degree with a double major in Political Science: Political Economy, and Economics, posting a cumulative 3.88 grade point average.
Each year, the NCAA awards 126 postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes who have completed their final year of athletics competition. The scholarships are distributed three times annually — in the fall, winter and spring — providing 21 scholarships each to men and women per season. The award is a one-time, nonrenewable scholarship intended to support graduate study at an accredited institution.
Established in 1964, the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship program promotes and encourages graduate education by recognizing the Association's most accomplished student-athletes. The program evaluates candidates on their athletic and academic achievements, campus involvement, community service and leadership. An equitable selection process ensures that all nominees, regardless of sport, division, gender or race, are considered fairly.
