The NCAA Woman of the Year Award was created to honor senior female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate career in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Each year, nine finalists are selected from all candidates, three from each division, including Division I, Division II, and Division III. This selection has been given by the National Collegiate Athletic Association since 1991. These finalists represent the NCAA's vision of the finest of all female collegiate athletes.
