STUDENT AWARDS

The Ring Award

At three separate commencement exercises, December, May and August, the alumni association sponsors a school ring for a deserving graduating student. Applications are submitted and the student is chosen based on leadership, service, obstacles overcome, and recommendations from faculty and staff. The ring is presented at the commencement ceremony.

SCHOLARSHIPS

At the present time the Javelina Alumni Association awards several “Legacy Scholarships” to dependents of alumni. These dependents must meet the general scholarship requirements as established by the university. The scholarships are worth $750.00 annually, are for incoming freshmen only and are non renewable. The application process for these awards is the same as for other scholarships offered by the university.

ALUMS ON CAMPUS

This is also a new program and is orchestrated by the Student Alumni Board and funded by the Javelina Alumni Association. The purpose of this program is to bring successful alumni back to campus to share their experiences with current students and to instill hope and confidence that their goals and aspirations are actually achievable.
