Nominate a promising student for an Alumni Referral Award

An SNC Alumni Referral Award is something only alumni can unlock, and only the students you select can receive one.

It works like this:

If you know of a promising student, you can recommend that student to us for an award of $1,000 a year for four years. If the student is accepted for admission, we’ll add the award to their financial aid package – and let them know it was the result of your nomination. Provided they remain in good academic standing, they’ll receive $4,000 over four years!

You may recommend more than one student, but each must be an incoming first-year student, and each may receive only one award. Family members are eligible.

This is a way for you to do a great deal of good with one kind gesture.

The nomination process is simple: just fill out this brief form. We must receive nominations no later than Nov. 15 of the applicant's senior year of high school.



You can nominate either a student who has already applied, or one who has yet to apply. Once they have been accepted, we’ll let them know that they will be receiving their award based on your recommendation.
