Requirements for Nash Leadership Award

If a student has fully participated in the Nash Leader’s Organization and, upon graduation:

  1. Is ranked in the top 20 percent of their class according to GPA as an undergraduate student,
  2. Has completed two designated courses,
  3. Has assisted in helping the interview process for new members of the Nash Leader Association,

An administrative committee will review all graduating members (via résumé and interview) to determine whether recipients have successfully met the criteria. Each scholar will be recognized at graduation and will be given a lapel pin and certificate.

Nash Scholars will receive a $1,000 award to continue their education or pursue additional education. All Nash Leader Award recipients will be honored at a dinner weeks before graduation. They will also be showcased in a news release and in school publications. Nash Program alums will be expected to support ongoing events for future Nash Leaders.
