Students should apply for this award the year before they plan on attending Graduate School. There are a limited number of awards made across the entire campus. Students considering this award should have an exceptional grade point average. Currently our program has four graduate students as graduate assistants. These individuals assist in the PAPA office, help fellow students or prospective students with question regarding SIUE or the MPA program. These individuals also assist professors as needed and work on the the department newsletter, brochure, and plan department events.
