Each year, the John D. Welty Award for Excellence in Community Service will be 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 $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. 11.
