Undergraduate Achievement Award
As of September 1, nominations for the
2011-2012 Undergraduate Achievement Award will be open. All chapters whose
chapter number ends in the digits 0-4 (see below) are encouraged to select
one student for this $100 Award; selection criteria are left to the
discretion of the local chapter but might focus on overall academic
excellence, chapter leadership, outstanding public service, or, in the
case of a sophomore or early junior inductee, as an encouragement award
toward continued excellence.
The Award is not competitive beyond the local level. To name an awardee,
chapter moderators should send the student's name and current mailing
address to the Treasurer:
Bob Dunston, TAK Treasurer
Dept. of Religion
University of the Cumberlands
7989 College Station Drive
Williamsburg, KY 40769
bdunston@ucumberlands.edu
Upon receipt of this information, an Award check will be issued directly to the student. Notice of the selected student must come from the chapter faculty moderator, either via regular mail on signed letterhead or via e-mail from the faculty moderator's institutional address. No e-mails from private service providers such as Yahoo, Gmail, etc., will be accepted.
The current policy is to offer the award to half the chapters each year. In the academic year 2011-2012, chapters ending in the digits 0-4 will name an awardee; in the next academic year (2012-2013), chapters ending in the digits 5-9 will name an awardee. See the list here to know your chapter's number.
