For the 65th consecutive year, 20 of the nation’s top college students have been named to the 2025 All-USA Academic Team. In recognition of this distinction, each student will receive a $5,000 scholarship.
The 2025 All-USA Academic Team was recognized during a session at the American Association of Community Colleges’ annual convention on April 15 in Nashville, Tennessee. The honor, sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), is granted in recognition of the students’ academic integrity, scholastic success, and leadership on campus and in their communities.
The All-USA program is one of the most prestigious academic honors for students seeking an associate degree or other educational certificate. In addition to the scholarship, team members receive a special medallion, and their college presidents receive a commemorative plaque in recognition of their leadership.
“Congratulations to the exceptional students named to the 2025 All-USA Academic Team,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Lander, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. “We are proud to partner in the recognition of their academic achievements and community impact, and look forward to their continued success.”
