Chancellor's Awards for Student Excellence

The Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence was created in 1997 to recognize students who have best demonstrated, and been recognized for, the integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts or career achievement.

Applications must be completed and emailed to dean_of_students@fitnyc.edu by November 30 to be considered for an award.

Each year, campus presidents establish a selection committee, which reviews exemplary members of their college communities who are graduating. Nominees are then forwarded to the Chancellor’s Office and are subject to a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the Chancellor to become recipients of the Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence.  Each recipient receives a framed certificate and medallion, which is traditionally worn at commencement. 

In 2012, 282 students from 64 SUNY campuses were honored with the Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. Recipients of this year’s award have an overall Grade Point Average of 3.70 and records of significant contributions to their campuses and communities. Each recipient received a framed certificate and medallion, which is traditionally worn at commencement.
