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 Nov. 22.
