Each year, the John D. Welty Award for Excellence in Community Service is given to a student who exemplifies the commitment to service that John Welty championed during his 22 years as president of Fresno State.

If eligible, based on financial need, the award will provide a single $2,500 scholarship to the winning student.

Nominations may come from any person, including self-nominations. Nominations must clearly and concisely address the nominations criteria and questions. One nomination per student will be accepted. A selection committee will review nominations and determine the award winner.

The Welty Award selection criteria and nomination form can be found here.

The deadline for nominations is Dec. 10. Please consider nominating a student and/or sharing it with students you believe would be a good candidate.
