The Bob James Memorial Scholarship recognizes one female and one male student-athlete from Mid-American Conference Schools who have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.5, and have displayed good character, leadership and citizenship. The student-athletes are nominated during the year in which they complete their final season of eligibility, and voted on by the Conference Faculty Athletics Representatives. The $5,000 post-graduate scholarship is awarded in honor Bob James, the second commissioner in Mid-American Conference history (1964-71).
