Awards Presentations:
Most awards are announced at the Regional meetings, unless a scholarship is awarded for other events that happen before the Regional Meetings.
Please note: Many regions fund student scholarships to attend their respective regional conference, so apply for those through the above link.
The National Awards Program also funds some graduate student scholarships which need to be applied for through that program. |
The
National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) is pleased to offer
the NATIONAL Annual Awards Program.
These awards are designed to honor individuals and institutions
making significant contributions to the improvement of academic
advising.
Reward
Systems
Many
institutions of higher education have few effective systems in place
for the evaluation of academic advising, and little reward or recognition
is attached to its successful delivery. Good advising, like good
teaching, publication and research, needs to be recognized. NACADA
believes a tangible reward system can be an enhancement to effective
advising.
Our
Goal
The
goal of the NACADA Annual Awards Program is to encourage wider support
and recognition for academic advising in colleges and universities
by providing an opportunity for recognition of outstanding advising.
An ultimate outcome of this program is to improve advising services
for students.

to request that all support letters and documentation be returned
to the nominator gathering the information for inclusion in the
