The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) began the distinguished Academic All-America® program in 1952, and since then, has honored thousands of deserving student-athletes from numerous sports across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors. In 2022, CoSIDA rebranded itself as the College Sports Communicators (CSC).

Currently, CSC sponsors Academic All-America® programs for men's soccer, women's soccer, football, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, softball, swimming and diving and men's and women's track and field/cross country. Many other sports are eligible through the At-Large program. In 2022, the guidelines were updated to include more representation on the All-District teams. Sports have limitations to the number of athletes that can be nominated and the minimum grade-point average was raised to 3.50. All athletes nominated for all-district make the team. Student-athletes on an all-district team are then on the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration

Morehead State has had numerous student-athletes honored throughout the program's existence. Until 2010-11, MSU was in District IV, which was schools in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. In 2011-12, MSU was placed in District II which includes all schools from Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Washington D.C. The following is a list of Morehead State's all-time Academic All-America and All-District awards.
