Individuals selected for this award will be recognized at the Rotary meeting the following month, and will be recognized at the annual Kimmel Leadership Awards Ceremony in April.
 
SIUE students must be nominated by someone else (can be students, faculty or staff). No self-nominations will be considered. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis, and should be received by the 16th of the month to be considered for that month's award.

Any nominees not selected for one month, will be considered for the following months. Awards will be given for September through April each academic year.

You can access the short nomination form and more information on qualifications here, student leader.
