Achievement Awards Program:

Each year SLAS/EOP honors a select number of eligible students with the Student Life Achievement Awards. These awards recognize students who have achieved academic excellence and have contributed exemplary community service on campus and/or in the surrounding community. All recipients receive an honorarium of $200 and a certificate of achievement. The Harry L. Morrison Distinguished Student Life Achievement Award of $500 is presented to the most outstanding student.
Achievement Award applicants must meet the following criteria:

- Must be an EOP or SLAS-sponsored student;
- Must have demonstrated leadership and service on campus OR in the community;
- Must have a minimum UCB grade point average of 3.0;

A committee comprised of students, staff, and faculty convenes to review and select award recipients. A formal ceremony is held in late April, where family and friends of the award recipients, along with the university community, gather to celebrate the achievements of these outstanding students.
