QUEENS, N.Y. - Former Red Storm women's golf standout and 2010 St. John's graduate Renee Cloutier has received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.
"Renee is very deserving of this tremendous honor," said Dean Robert A. Mangione, Ed.D., R.Ph. and St. John's Faculty Athletic Representative. "In addition to being an outstanding athlete she is an exceptional scholar and wonderful person. We all wish her the very best with her postgraduate studies."
Cloutier, a four-year member of the women's golf team, earned a degree in speech pathology and audiology this past May and received the Student Achievement Medal for her exceptional contribution to the extra-curricular life of St. John's University. She achieved a GPA of 3.86.
Cloutier was on the Dean's List each semester she attended St. John's, in addition to receiving the All-BIG EAST Women's Golf Scholar-Athlete Sports Excellence Award the summer of 2009. She participated in a host of community service and campus leadership activities during her St. John's career.
A three-time All-BIG EAST honoree, Cloutier led the team with a 78.44 stroke average and tied for the team lead with four top-10 finishes this past year. The Niceville, Fla., native's best finish this year was a second-place showing at the Sacred Heart Fall Classic (Oct. 18-19) when she led the team to victory. She was named St. John's Women's Golf MVP following both her junior and senior seasons.
