To qualify for an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, a student-athlete must have an overall grade-point average of 3.200 (on a 4.000 scale) or its equivalent and must have performed with distinction as a member of the varsity team in the sport in which the student-athlete was nominated. The student-athlete must have behaved, both on and off the field, in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics. The student-athlete also must intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a full-time or part-time graduate student.
On top of her academic honors, Skokut earned the rare distinction of becoming a four-time first team All-Big Ten honoree in 2004. She became only the third Gopher to accomplish the feat, and the first since Mindy Knaeble earned the distinction from 1995-98.
