ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference announced its annual postgraduate scholarship recipients on Wednesday, recognizing two student-athletes from each of the 14 Big Ten member institutions who plan to continue their education at a graduate degree program. These honorees will be awarded a $7,500 scholarship, based primarily on academic achievements. This year’s recipients, who represent 15 different sports, will continue their education in a variety of different disciplines. Each Big Ten institution developed its own on-campus selection process when awarding the scholarships. Student-athletes must have maintained at least a 3.2 grade-point average (GPA), demonstrated leadership qualities, served as an excellent role model and intended to continue their academic work beyond their baccalaureate degree at a graduate degree program. The Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship will be used to pay expenses of the student’s postgraduate education to include such related activities as research and teaching, as well as other expenses such as tuition, fees, room and board, required course-related supplies and books. To retain the scholarship, the recipient must be accepted into a full-time graduate degree program within three years from the fall semester after selection.

Big Ten Conference Announces 2024 Postgraduate Scholarship Recipients

INDIANAPOLIS – Ashley Harlock of Michigan State University and Trent DiCicco of the Ohio State University have been selected as this year’s Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award recipients. All 14 Big Ten Conference member institutions were asked to nominate one female and one male student-athlete for the 2024 school year. The two students selected were each awarded a $10,000 scholarship for their achievements in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and leadership.Harlock becomes the third Spartan student-athlete to receive the Wayne Duke Postgraduate award, joining swimmer Scott Piper (2020) and gymnast Lea Mitchell (2021). DiCicco joins the trio of swimmer Chelsea Davis (2010), soccer player Lindsay Agnew (2017), and thrower Sade Olatoye (2020) as Buckeyes to earn the honor in its 17-year history.In recognition of the Big Ten Conference's leadership in fully integrating athletics into the academic mission of its member institutions, the Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership initiated the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award in 2008. During the past 17 years, the award has contributed nearly $300,000 in scholarships.The award is made possible by donations from local corporations and individuals supporting intercollegiate athletics. The Indianapolis Big Ten Community Partnership is comprised of the State of Indiana, the City of Indianapolis, Indiana Sports Corp, Pacers Sports &amp; Entertainment, and Visit Indy.A four-year letterwinner on the Michigan State field hockey team, Harlock appeared in all 65 games during her career, including 40 starts, totaling 13 points on three goals and seven assists. Harlock’s leadership extends well beyond her position as a three-year team captain, as she served as President of the Michigan State Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), a leadership committee organized to provide insight into the student-athlete experience, and represented the university on the conference and national levels.Harlock graduated from Michigan State’s Lyman Briggs Honors College with a 4.0 grade-point average, double majoring in human biology and neuroscience with a concentration in behavioral neuroscience. During her time at Michigan State, Harlock has participated in research in the Physics, Psychology, and Physiology Departments and presented research at the 2023 Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting.In addition to her athletic and academic pursuits, Harlock is active in a variety of community service activities, including blood and bone marrow drives and food and clothing drives. She is also an accomplished singer and guitarist, who recorded four original songs for a CD with Nashville producer Matt Wilder.DiCicco was a four-year member and a two-year captain of the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team, who accumulated 17 points on 10 goals and seven assists, 88 ground balls, and 10 caused turnovers in his 47 appearances in the Scarlett and Gray. DiCicco was also a member of Team Canada, winning a silver medal at the Under-21 World Championships in Limerick, Ireland in 2022.A two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, DiCicco majored in mechanical engineering with a minor in robotics and autonomous systems, posting a 3.94 overall grade-point average. DiCicco is also participating in research projects focusing on human movement biomechanics applied to law enforcement and athletes and a multidisciplinary project related to optimizing human performance, injury prevention, and rapid rehabilitation.Outside of classwork, research, and lacrosse, DiCicco, who also co-founded and co-owns a small, vintage-inspired fashion brand called Modern Crown, volunteers at the Second and Seven Reading Foundation and Dream Centre Food Service.“Indiana Sports Corp is humbled to have the opportunity to present the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award to these outstanding student-athletes,” said Indiana Sports Corp President Patrick Talty. “Both of the honorees have demonstrated impressive leadership skills, academic and athletic performance, and serve as role models for their communities.”The Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award is named for the late Big Ten Conference commissioner who served from 1971 to 1989. While leading the conference, Duke spent much of his time working to improve academic standards and graduation rates for students competing in conference athletics.2024 Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Nominees University of Illinois: Katherine (Kate) Duong, Women’s Tennis Indiana University: Kennedy Reardon, Field Hockey; Jagger Saylor, Men’s Tennis University of Maryland: Shaylan Ahearn, Women’s Lacrosse Michigan State University: Ashley Harlock, Field Hockey University of Minnesota: Madeline Wethington, Women’s Ice Hockey University of Nebraska: Lindsey Thiele, Women’s Golf; Ethan Piper, Football Northwestern University: Levi Hoogendoorn, Fencing; Rom Brown, Men’s Soccer Ohio State University: Nya Bussey, Track &amp; Field; Trent DiCicco, Men’s Lacrosse Penn State University: Carrie Byrnes, Women’s Ice Hockey; Benjamin Doyle, Swimming &amp; Diving Purdue University: Emily Matthews, Women’s Soccer Rutgers University: Emily Mahaffy, Women’s Rowing; Jackson Temple, Men’s Soccer University of Wisconsin: Gabrianna Salo, Softball; Gabriel Huber, Men’s TennisPrevious Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Recipients 2023: Diana Brown, University of Illinois, Volleyball; Thomas Penola, Purdue University, Wrestling 2022: Blake Hayes, University of Illinois, Football; Gianna Glatz, Rutgers, Field Hockey 2021: Kieran Mullins, Rutgers, Men's Lacrosse &amp; Lea Mitchell, Michigan State, Women's Gymnastics 2020: Scott Piper, Michigan State, Men’s Swimming &amp; Diving; Sade Olatoye, Ohio State, Women’s Track &amp; Field 2019: Anton Stephenson, Nebraska, Men’s Gymnastics; Olivia Rosendahl, Northwestern, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving 2018: Chris Weber, Nebraska, Football; Emily Mills, Rutgers, Women’s Golf 2017: Geno Morelli, Penn State, Wrestling; Lindsay Agnew, Ohio State, Women’s Soccer 2016: Cody Rush, Nebraska, Men’s Track and Field; Lindsay Mable, Minnesota, Women’s Gymnastics 2015: Campbell Sode, Rutgers, Men’s Lacrosse; Jessica Plant, Minnesota, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving 2014: Spencer Long, Nebraska, Football; Emily Wong, Nebraska, Women’s Gymnastics 2013: Sean Fisher, Nebraska, Football; Katelyn White, Nebraska, Women’s Cross Country and Track &amp; Field 2012: Miguel Pineda, Penn State, Men’s Gymnastics; Margaux Farrell, Indiana, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving 2011: Mike Torchia, Minnesota, Men’s Cross Country and Track &amp; Field; Allie Smith, Purdue, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving 2010: Mark Ison, Northwestern, Football; Chelsea Davis, Ohio State, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving 2009: Drew Ratner, Northwestern, Men’s Soccer; Lauren Mioton, Purdue, Women’s Basketball 2008: Kevin Trulock, Indiana, Football; Molly Crispell, Penn State, Women’s Swimming &amp; Diving
