The Arkansas Alumni Association invites seniors from the Class of 2023 to participate in the Senior Awards program.

The Class of 2023 includes those students graduating in December 2022, May 2023 or August 2023. All qualified students are welcome to apply, and faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to share with seniors.

Application Information

• Requirements may be found at www.arkansasalumni.org/seniorawards.
• Submissions are due by 3:59 p.m. CST on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023.
• Nominations or recommendations by faculty are not required.
• Please do not include GPA in application materials.

Criteria

Seniors of Significance, Razorback Classics and Senior Honor Citations will be selected based on:

• Academic excellence.
• Demonstrated leadership.
• Significant cocurricular involvement.
• Minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.24 through spring semester 2022.

The association has supported the Senior Honor Citations program for more than 50 years and led the expansion of the overall senior awards program in 2013 when the Razorback Classics program was renewed. The recognition efforts grew again in 2015 with the addition of the Seniors of Significance program. As the program has grown and the campus has evolved, the association endeavors to expand the applicant pool for these awards to ensure that the process is comprehensive and that recipients are representative of the U of A senior class.

The association is committed to reviewing and enhancing its student recognition programs through consistent evaluation and collaboration with others on campus. Our intention with this program is to help meet university goals for student success, leadership and philanthropy.
