Dear SCA Community,

The SCA Community Impact Council is proud to announce the nomination period for the 2026 SCA Impact Award for Student Work.

This award honors outstanding SCA students whose creative, scholarly, or community-based work strengthens our school community. We welcome nominations recognizing students who:

• Build community within SCA
• Lead or participate in organizing and community service efforts
• Student work or class projects that engage with themes of social change or social and environmental justice.

If you would like to nominate a student, or nominate yourself, please complete this nomination form by February 13, 2026:

Please review the full nomination criteria and evaluation rubric included on the form. The SCA Community Impact Council will review each submission carefully based on the criteria outlined.

Award recipients will be selected by a committee composed of Council Liaisons representing each academic division. Each awardee will receive a $400 stipend, be featured on SCA social media and in In Motion, and be recognized with a plaque at a ceremony in April 2026.
