Omaha senior forward Ryan Galt has been selected as the recipient of the NCHC\u2019s fourth annual postgraduate scholarship.<\/p>\n

Galt, the third straight Maverick to receive the scholarship, carries a 3.65 grade-point average in the School of Business while majoring in banking, finance, investment science and portfolio management. The assistant captain is both a four-time NCHC Academic All-Conference Team member and NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete, while also being named an All-American Scholar by the American Hockey Coaches Association after his junior season.<\/p>\n

he is set to graduate with a degree in Business Administration this May.<\/p>\n

\u201cNCHC students continue to impress us and perform well in the classroom, in addition to their on-ice commitments, and Ryan Galt is no exception,\u201d NCHC commissioner Josh Fenton said in a statement. \u201cWe are proud to select Ryan as the conference\u2019s postgraduate scholarship winner for 2019, extending Omaha\u2019s impressive run of academic success, as he continues his studies in the area of Business Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his NCHC academic honors, Galt has been a four-year representative for Omaha hockey on Omaha Athletics\u2019 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, as well as on the NCHC\u2019s SAAC, in which he was heavily involved in the conference\u2019s participation in the Headway Foundation\u2019s Concussion Awareness Week.<\/p>\n

For his career, Galt played in 115 games for his hometown team, tallying 27 points on eight goals and 19 assists, including a career-high four goals this season. He added four assists for eight points in 35 games in 2018-19, missing only one as a senior.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank the coaching staff, our academic advisor, Lindsey Ekwerekwu, my teammates, and especially my parents for all the support throughout my four years at Omaha,\u201d Galt added. \u201cOur players strive to better themselves on the ice, in the community and in the classroom every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, as well, to the committee for providing this award. I\u2019m looking forward to the new opportunities this scholarship will provide in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the postgraduate scholarship, the student-athlete must be a senior on the official NCAA hockey roster with at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA, with plans to continue his academic studies beyond his undergraduate degree. The recipient must enroll in a postgraduate school within three years of receiving the scholarship to collect the financial aid.<\/p>\n

The winner is chosen by a vote of the NCHC\u2019s faculty athletics representatives from among the nominees submitted by each school\u2019s FAR.<\/p>\n
