Students of Distinction

 

Each year twenty (20) students are honored and publicly recognized for their outstanding achievement at the Students of Distinction Awards Ceremony, sponsored by Student Life and Leadership. Each student who is selected to receive this prestigious award will receive a scholarship sponsored by Associated Students, Dr. Janet and Henry Emoto, Schlinger Students of Distinction, Fullerton College Faculty Wives, District Management Association (DMA), various donors from Fullerton College, and the Friends of the Fullerton College Foundation (funds may vary from year-to-year, depending on the availability of donations collected).

Students with the highest score overall from each category will be forwarded to the final selection committee, which will choose the final top two students who will each be awarded the “Distinguished Student of the Year” and will receive an additional scholarship. Additionally, Students of Distinction awardees will be given the opportunity to audition to be a student speaker for the annual Fullerton College Commencement ceremony. Only Students of Distinction are considered as student speakers for Commencement, and it is a tradition and honor bestowed on each awardee
