Awarded to a graduate student who has performed exemplary service in the interest of graduate education at Appalachian State University. Nominations are accepted each year, but are judged compared to all nominees and past recipients. Thus, the award is not necessarily given each year. Awards for currently enrolled students will be processed via Student Accounts. Students who have graduated will receive a check in the mail.

Selection Criteria
The service activity must have occurred during the student's current graduate career.
