The MIAA supports student-athlete participation in Educational Athletics programs that distinguish athletic competitions from life-long learning opportunities. MIAA provides financial assistance to student-athletes throughout the state, giving them the opportunity to take part in programs such as:
* New England Student Leadership Conference
* Girls and Women in Sport Initiatives
* Sportsmanship Summit
* Wellness Summit
As well as, various leadership and wellness workshops throughout the year.
The goal of MIAA is to preserve and create many educational opportunities for student-athletes statewide. The organizations aids in maintaining quality services under the umbrella of the five education based athletic "Pillars": Coaches Education, Community Service, Leadership, Sportsmanship and Wellness.
