Terry O'Banion Student Technology Awards

Sponsored by

Each year, Microsoft and the League for Innovation invite you to nominate two outstanding community college technology students for the Terry O'Banion Student Technology Awards.

The winners of these awards are determined through an international search of nominations from League for Innovation Member Institutions. The winners will receive copies of Microsoft software programs and will be presented to two students with special talent and interest in a career in technology. Award winners are designated as Microsoft Student Technology Champion and Student Developer Champion. The Student Developer Champion award will be presented to a student with a career focus of software development.

Community college faculty or staff members are invited to nominate student candidates by returning a nomination form accompanied by a 500-word letter of recommendation. Eligible student nominees must be:

1)                  Currently enrolled in a League for Innovation Member Institution

2)                  Pursuing a career in technology

3)                  In need of financial assistance to further his/her education

Please note: One nomination for Student Technology Champion and one nomination for Student Developer Champion is accepted from each League Member Institution. In multicollege districts, each separate college accredited by one of the six regional accreditation associations is allowed one nominee for each student award (Student Technology Champion and Student Developer Champion). Single, multicampus community colleges accredited by one of the six regional accreditation associations are allowed one nominee for each student award.

Microsoft Corporation's Higher Education Group makes the selections, and award winners are announced at the League's annual Innovations conference.
