All award recipients will be invited to a luncheon in April with AME’s Board of Advisors where they will be honored for their achievements and given a cash award.  The recipients of the  Outstanding Senior Awards will also be recognized during the Campus Award Ceremony on March 30, 2012.

The application is due by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 17, 2012, to Sarah Warren in Felgar Hall 219.

Submit:

  • One-page essay about yourself
  • One-page resume (include your current mailing address AND your parents’ address, as you will both be notified by mail if you receive an award).

If you have any additional questions, contact Sarah Warren or Suzi Skinner.

Good luck!
