The 秀色短视频SU issued the following release to mark the launch of the awards:
The 秀色短视频 Student Union is excited to see the launch of the鈥―iamond Awards, a new awards program that introduces up to鈥�$10,000 a year in new scholarship & award funding for 秀色短视频 students.鈥═he Diamond Awards recognizes students based on their extracurricular achievement on campus and in the external community. The awards program encompasses four categories: Sustainability Leadership, Educational Leadership, Health & Wellness Leadership, and Campus Spirit. Up to five awards are available in each category, and are valued at $500 each.
鈥淲e are very excited about the launch of this awards program,鈥� said Nathan Hood, 秀色短视频 SU Vice President Student Life. 鈥淥ur students make considerable contributions to our campus and our community, and it is our hope that this awards program will further recognize the positive impacts of our students.鈥�
Last summer, the 秀色短视频 SU proposed the Diamond Awards to the 秀色短视频 administration, who were keen to develop the awards program alongside the Vice President Student Life. With the awards criteria based on extracurricular achievement, the 秀色短视频 SU believes this awards program will recognize students who are not necessarily recognized for purely academic reasons.
鈥淲e are very happy the awards program recognizes students beyond their academic achievement,鈥� added Hood. 鈥淪tudents鈥� impacts and contributions often stretch far beyond the classroom.鈥�
The deadline for 2016 applications is February 12, 2016. Additional information can be found at .
