Stellenbosch University
Welcome to Stellenbosch University
Rector's Award | Call for applications / nominations

Attention: Students


It is that time of the year where we are reaching out to you to apply for or nominate another student for the Rector’s Award for Excellent Achievement
 
Stellenbosch University (SU) continuously pursues excellence, and the development of graduate attributes forms an integral part of our learning and teaching environment. As a creator of sustainable hope in Africa, SU aspires to create the kinds of conditions that will enable each student to acquire the attributes of an enquiring mind, an engaged citizen, a dynamic professional and a well-rounded individual. 
 
It is important that appropriate instruments of recognition be used to encourage you to excel during your time on campus and as an SU alumnus. In July 2008, the Rectorate, in collaboration with the Students’ Representative Council (SRC), decided to host an annual prestigious event to present the Rector’s Award for Excellent Achievement to students who have performed exceptionally well in academics, sport, service provision, leadership, culture and social impact.  
 
This is your opportunity to be recognised for your own excellent achievement and/or to shine the light on a fellow student who deserves recognition. You have heard it said that we miss 100% of the shots we do not take. Make this opportunity count for you, click here to apply or nominate someone else.
 
Please note that the Student Achievement Committee will only accept electronic applications and nominations.  
 
The closing date for submissions is 25 August 2021 at 23:00. No late submissions will be accepted.
