Since 1989, the former Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference recognized the institution with the highest overall GPA for its female student-athletes. In 1998, the WIAC began recognizing the institution with the highest GPA among male and female student-athletes separately, as well as an overall award combining both the men's and women's programs.
Effective with the 2001-02 academic year, the academic honor is presented to those institutions in which the grade-point average for its student-athletes is equal to, or greater than, the grade point average of the overall student body. The awards are announced in July for the preceding academic year.
UW-Superior won the awards 16 times.
