Ernest H. Ern Distinguished Student Award
Named in honor of longtime University professor and administrator Ernest H. Ern, the Distinguished Student Award is to be conferred annually upon that member of the student body who has won recognition in the academic community for leadership and for his or her concern in preserving the traditions of the University. Though outstanding performance as an athlete, high scholastic standing, or participation in student organizations is taken into consideration, the Distinguished Student Award seeks to honor the student who has won the admiration of the University for significant contributions in several areas of University life and has excelled in all of them.
The award, consisting of a suitably inscribed and framed certificate and $5,000 cash, is presented to the recipient at the Awards Luncheon.

Sky Alland Scholarship
Established in 1993 to honor J. Schuyler “Sky” Alland ’79, this scholarship is awarded each year to a rising fourth-year student who exemplifies the five qualities that helped Sky make his mark, not just on the world, but on those around him: Enterprising Spirit, Leadership, Achievement, Humility, and Devotion to the University. A defining criterion of this award, Enterprising Spirit, is characterized by a “can-do” attitude, a bias for action. Sky Alland Scholars who embody these characteristics identify a need, challenge, or opportunity and find a way to meet it.
