Wayne Duke Postgraduate AwardIndiana's Trulock and Penn State's Crispell Recognized as Inaugural Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Recipients (March 11, 2008) In recognition of the Big Ten’s leadership in fully integrating athletics into the academic mission of its member institutions, the Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership has initiated the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award. The Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award is named for the former Big Ten Conference commissioner who served from 1971-89. While leading the Big Ten, Duke spent much of his time working to improve academic standards and graduation rates for student-athletes. The award is an annual scholarship recognizing one male and one female Big Ten senior student-athlete pursuing a postgraduate degree for achievements in academics, athletics, civic service, and leadership. Each Big Ten institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete. For 2008, each award is $2,500. The Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership will present the awards during the 2008 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse. The award is made possible by donations from local corporations and individuals supporting collegiate student-athletes.
