Student Leadership Awards

The Student Leadership Awards recognize ten undergraduate students who best exemplify the spirit of Notre Dame in social, recreational, residential, service, and religious activities that promote the welfare of the University and its extended communities. The awards are presented at the annual Student Leadership Awards Ceremony in the spring semester. 

Nomination Process


Selection of the recipients of Student Leadership Awards is based on outstanding service on or off campus through participation in voluntary, selected, and/or elected co-curricular activities with an emphasis on quality of participation. We ask your assistance in identifying students deserving of such recognition. A student may nominate another student, but no self-nominations will be accepted. 

Nominations will open in Spring 2024.  To nominate a student for a Student Leadership Award, you will be asked to complete a nomination form, as well as provide a letter of recommendation, resume, or other supporting information that may help strengthen your nomination.
