Only students graduating between June 2024 and May 2025 will be considered. Nominations for the SUNY New Paltz process are due by Friday, January 17, 2025 at 12:00 Noon.  

While students may assist in the application process, the nomination itself must be submitted by a college employee.

The President’s Award for Student Excellence follows the same criteria, but at the campus level as opposed to the SUNY-wide level.  

The following is a mock submission which serves as an exemplar sample, it is common for awardees to have robust information completed in each of the accomplishment areas.
