Distinguished Student Awards

Each year, the Point Park University Alumni Association Board of Directors presents the Distinguished Student Award, previously known as the Outstanding Student Award, to one graduating undergraduate student, one graduating master's student and one graduating doctoral student.

The award winners are chosen on the basis of academic excellence, volunteerism/community service and exemplary character. The board is in search of students who are great assets to the Point Park community as a whole.
