Honors Day Awards – Office of the Provost

Honors Convocation is Friday, November 7th, 2025 in Stetson Chapel. Please use the form below to designate the award winners in your department.

Please complete the form below with your student selections. If your award is a check and that would cause a student’s financial aid to be reduced, the Financial Aid Office will advise us of this, and you’ll be able to change the type of award at that time. Please submit receipts for non-check awards to Sarah Gillig for reimbursement. Please note that non-endowed awards should be limited to at most two recipients, and to a total of $50 per department.
