2024 Public Service Award Application

A scholarship of $1,000 is to be awarded annually at homecoming by the UTC Alumni Board of Directors and the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs to two individuals displaying the most distinguished service to the UTC campus as well as the Chattanooga community. University service can include totally voluntary positions (campus committees, student orientation groups, greek memberships, etc.) or positions which are accompanied by a stipend (student government association positions, admissions and recruiting work, publication staffs, etc.). Community public service can include such involvement as volunteer work in hospitals, counseling, tutoring, environmental services, Red Cross, or any service that is not paid and does not receive academic credit.

The award is to be given annually during homecoming festivities, and there are no restrictions on the way the financial award is used. Receiving this award may impact other scholarship monies.

The annual award must be given to a UTC student carrying a full semester load of a minimum of 12 hours. Including but not limited to:

Have accumulated at least 60 credit hours (of which 24 are earned at UTC)

Have a minimum overall GPA of 2.5

Must not have previously received the UTC Public Service Award

Must submit a letter of reference (from faculty, administrator and/or organizational advisor)

The application deadline is October 10, 2024.
