The National Letterwinners Association (NLWA) was founded by the National W Club at the University of Wisconsin in 1996. At inception, it was geared towards the Big Ten Conference institutions and original attendees were solely from Big Ten Schools. The NLWA eventually expanded and now includes, and is open to, all NCAA colleges and universities from Division I, Division II and Division III.
