Awards

Awards ceremonies are an important opportunity for reflection on student philanthropy courses and the grant making process, as well as an opportunity to increase public awareness about the project.  While awards ceremonies vary among institutions in size and scope, typically they provide a format for the public awarding of funds and an opportunity for community leaders, students and faculty to reflect upon the process.  Attention to media is key to both highlighting the work of the nonprofits and to generating additional investment in the project (from both inside and outside of the institution).
