Awards, which often help relieve financial burden, can have a far-reaching effect. Criminal Justice and Public Policy student Nathaniel Brown received the McKendry-Baker Memorial scholarship.
The importance of even a slight decrease in financial stress cannot be overstated. Without this stress, we can continue to focus less on making money and focus more on our academics and giving back to the university and wider community. It pushes us to continue to strive for greatness and give back.

Award Recognition 2020
Annually, the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS) distributes over $500,000 in student awards and recognizes the academic achievement and outstanding leadership of over 200 students. Many of these awards are generously funded by donors who see the importance of supporting students in their academic and professional pursuits. Although celebrations looked a little different in 2020, we are so proud of the excellence of our students and the generosity of our donors and want to share some of their stories with you.
