Pepperdine Student-Athlete Award Winners

From 1984-2007, coaches and staff members with the Pepperdine University Department of Athletics voted on a single "Scholar-Athlete of the Year" and a "Coach of the Year." Beginning in 2008, an annual Student-Athlete Awards Dinner was established in order to recognize on a yearly basis both men's and women's recipients for Athlete of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Wave of the Year. The Wave of the Year recognizes a student-athlete for their outstanding spirit and support of Pepperdine's athletic programs. In 2012, the Maurice Hilliard Award was established and is given to a student-athlete that exemplifies the attributes of Christian faith, character and leadership.
