Student Honors and Awards
Each year, a UALR faculty committee chooses two outstanding and extremely motivated graduating seniors. Selection is based on the students’ demonstrated scholarship, leadership, character, and citizenship. Each winner receives awards and university-wide recognition.
Students from all colleges and disciplines may apply; however, the nominated student must be eligible to graduate within the current academic year. Summer graduates may apply the following academic year.
The application deadline is Friday, April 10, 2009.
