Byline is 7/26/22. I searched for Alston Awards and found nothing in this forum. So sorry if it was already posted.
"UConn also put its money where its mouth is by choosing to pay only its basketball players Alston awards, or financial awards for academic achievement, last academic year.
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, a university spokesperson responded in an email that 27 men’s or women’s basketball players each received an award of $2,990 after the fall semester, which totaled $80,730. The spokesperson said as of July 19, UConn hadn’t yet distributed its awards from the spring semester." These awards are capped at $5,980 annually per student.

UConn paid Alston awards to almost every basketball player after fall
UConn only made Alston awards available to basketball players last school year, allowing them to profit from their academic achievement.
