A total of 664 women's collegiate golfers were recognized from NCAA Divisions I, II and III. The criteria for selection to the All-America Scholar teams includes carrying a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade point average and also having competed in at least 50 percent (Division I) or 66 percent (Division II and III) of their school's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
