Eligibility Considerations
- Candidate must be an alumnus or alumna of the South Carolina Honors College.
- It is preferred that the candidate is able to attend the Homecoming Reception, but extenuating circumstances will be considered.
- Candidate must not be running for or currently holding a public office.
- This award recognizes Honors alumni who have made exceptional contributions to their
alma mater and the broader community through leadership, volunteer service and engagement.

Alumni may submit nominations for both the service award and distinguished alumni award, but they must submit two separate nomination packets.
