APSU Board of Trustees Awards
At the summer meeting, the Board of Trustees approve the recipients of three awards
to deserving alumni/friends/organizations. The awards are: APSU Philanthropist of
the Year, Govs Who Lead Through Military Service, and Govs Who Lead Through Service.
The criteria and previous recipients of the awards are listed below.
Selection Process:
A call for nominations will go out from the Office of University Advancement each
year on March 1 and close on May 31. A special committee organized by the Office of
University Advancement will select honorees. The Committee will review all application
materials in light of the selection criteria and recommend a slate of recipients to
the university president for the upcoming year. If the initial call for nominations
does not yield a sufficient number or quality of applicants, the Committee may issue
an additional call for nominations. Nominees cannot receive the same award two consecutive
years; there must be, at minimum, one year between receiving the same award.
Recognition Process:
Recognition will take place at events deemed appropriate by the university in conjunction
with the honoree’s calendar. Such events include Tower Club Annual Dinners and Foundation
Meeting Dinners.
