RIVER FALLS, Wis. – The University of Louisville's Meghan Schneider has been awarded the Nick Mourouzis Postgraduate Scholarship for the 2020-21 academic year as announced by Chi Alpha Sigma today.
Â
Schneider, a 2021 graduate and three-year starter on Louisville's field hockey team, joins North Carolina lacrosse player Katie Hoeg as the two $3,500 scholarship recipients. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must be Chi Alpha Sigma inductees from an active chapter of the National College Athlete Honor Society; be seeking their postgraduate degree in the immediate upcoming academic year; be enrolled in a full-time program of studies; have exhausted all athletic eligibility prior to starting graduate-level coursework; be formally nominated by their respective chapter advisor.

Schneider (San Diego, Calif.) capped off her senior year at Louisville by being named the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Scholar Athlete of the Year. A nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award, Schneider was also a First Team Academic All-America pick by CoSIDA in 2021 and became the first player in program history to earn the NCAA Elite 90 Award for the 2020-21 NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship, posting the highest GPA (4.0) of the participating semifinal teams. Schneider also earned NFHCA All-America third team honors and finished her career as a two-time NFHCA All-West Region selection.
