Due to the changes in grading scales for the spring 2020 semester because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CSCAA has chosen to not publish team GPAs for this award period.

For the women, 182 different NCAA Division III women's programs achieved the Scholar All-America standard. E&H is one of nine Old Dominion Athletic Conference schools to earn the award. Bridgewater College, Hollins University, University of Lynchburg, Randolph-Macon College, Roanoke College, Sweet Briar College, Virginia Wesleyan University and Washington and Lee University were also recognized.

On the men's side, there were 161 teams from NCAA Division III to earn the honor. Emory & Henry was one of seven from the ODAC to achieve the mark. Bridgewater, Lynchburg, Randolph-Macon, Roanoke, Virginia Wesleyan and Washington and Lee also completed the sweep with both programs earning the award.

The Team Scholar All-America award is presented to college and university swimming & diving teams, which have achieved a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The award is presented twice annually, once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester. The CSCAA honors teams from each of the NCAA's three divisions, NAIA and NJCAA.

Emory & Henry completed its third year of men's swimming and its eighth season of varsity competition for the women's program in 2020. The Wasps finished sixth (women) and seventh (men) at the ODAC Championships in February.
