Rooted in Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year Award was established in 1991 to recognize graduating female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.
 
In the 30th year of the award, a record 605 female student-athletes were nominated, including 259 nominees from Division I. Conferences will select up to two nominees from the pool of candidates followed by the Woman of the Year selection committee then choosing the top 30 honorees (10 per division).
 
The selection committee will then determine the three finalists in each division among the 30 honorees. The members of the Committee on Women's Athletics will vote among the nine finalists to determine the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year, who will be named this fall.
