The North Carolina Association of Community College Presidents created the Governor Robert W. Scott Student Leadership Award to recognize student leadership and service while also honoring the former governor.
Each North Carolina community college nominates one student to compete for the annual regional and possibly the state award. The student must be enrolled at least half-time, in good academic standing, and has a grade point average of at least 2.5. Each nominated student is active in campus activities and possesses traits that will help them be or become leaders in their communities. The regional and the state award winners are selected by the North Carolina Instructional Administrators Association.
