Georgia Southern women's soccer standout Ellie McIntyre was named one of eight recipients of the 2025 Sun Belt Conference Postgraduate Scholarships, announced recently by the league.
The scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes with stated intentions to pursue a graduate degree following the completion of their undergraduate requirements and are sent directly to the graduate school of each recipient's choice. The recipients were selected by the Sun Belt Postgraduate Scholarship Committee, which is comprised of Faculty Athletic Representatives from across the conference.
To be eligible for Sun Belt Conference Postgraduate Scholarships, nominees must have exhausted eligibility, been declared or designated a varsity letter winner in a Sun Belt-sanctioned sport at a member institution for at least two seasons and achieved a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.3 (on a 4.0 scale).
A three-year member of the Eagles' women's soccer team after transferring from Ole Miss, McIntyre earned a bachelor's degree in exercise science from Georgia Southern and will be pursuing her master's degree in coaching education while working for the team as a graduate assistant coach for the upcoming 2025 campaign.
