A total of 1,698 student-athletes from the A-10's 14 member institutions made the honor roll. The 1,698 is the highest number of student-athletes that have qualified for the award since 2007 when the lists were regularly compiled. The total surpassed the 1,679 set during the 2015 fall semester, which was announced in March. In addition, the 14 member institutions had an average 121.3 student-athletes qualify for the Commissioner's Honor Roll, surpassing last semester's record average of 119.9 honorees per institution.

Including the fall semester numbers, there were a total of 3,377 honorees during 2015-16, the most in league history. George Mason had 273 honorees between the two semesters. Previously the single year record was 3,255, set in 2012-13 when the conference had 16 institutions. Both marks are the best single semester numbers since A-10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade's tenure started in 2008.
