Outstanding Undergraduate Returning Adult Student Awards

The Outstanding Undergraduate Returning Adult Student Award recognizes two returning adult undergraduate students whose exceptional determination and perseverance have enabled them to pursue their academic work and to contribute to the community by demonstrated leadership and service.

Nominations are accepted in January and February each year. UW-Madison faculty, staff, students, or members of the community may submit nominations to the Adult Career and Special Student Services during that time.

• earning a first undergraduate degree, with a cumulative GPA which reflects academic success
• anticipating graduation in May, August or December of the current year
• a NEW nominee for the award (not previously considered)
