Applications Are Being Accepted For The 2021-2022 Terry O'Banion Student Technology Award

The League for Innovation is accepting nominations for the 2021-2022 Terry O’Banion Student Technology Awards from League Alliance and Board member colleges through October 29. This award honors two deserving students who demonstrate a special talent in technology, passion about moving toward a career in technology, academic excellence, and strong financial need. Winners will receive $1,000 each to be used for education expenses (e.g., tuition, fees) and a plaque commemorating their achievement. The awards will be mailed to nominating faculty/staff for distribution and announced at the 2022 Innovations Conference.

Award winners are designated as Student Technology Champion or Student Developer Champion:

  • The Student Technology Champion award is presented to a student with a career interest in a technology field other than software development (e.g., hardware engineering, network administration, cybersecurity).
  • The Student Developer Champion award is presented to a student with a career focus specifically in software development (e.g., programming, web development, SQL administration).

Each separately accredited League member institution may submit one nomination for Student Technology Champion and one nomination for Student Developer Champion. Please communicate with your colleagues to avoid more than one submission for each category. (Dual enrollment high school and early college students are not eligible.)

Nominations will be accepted through October 29, 2021. Please refer to the Terry O’Banion Student Technology Awards page to learn more. The guidelines page provides detailed nomination information.

Feel free to contact Kelly Dooling if you have questions. Thank you for your support of the League and your technology students.
