Purpose: To honor individuals who model the ideals of Greenville College. The annual awards are presented to alumni who demonstrate Christian discipleship and offer significant contributions to their field of service.

General Guidelines: Anyone, including staff and board members may nominate a qualified candidate for any alumni award. Nominations should be solicited through the Greenville College Record and Greenville College web site. A screening process may be implemented as follows: Alumni Board Executive Committee reviews nominees then submits nominees to Alumni Office for biographical research. Staff will compile biographical information of nominees by researching files and/or through confidential interviews with family or friends of the nominee. The Executive Committee and/or the Alumni Board Awards Committee may determine those nominees who may be considered by the full board.

Selection and Presentation: Award recipients should be selected at Alumni Board meetings. Selection should be conducted with formal nomination and second of individual candidates, followed by Board vote. When necessary, election may be made by mail or electronic ballot following receipt by Board members of nominees' biographical information.

Generally, Distinguished, Loyalty and Faculty awards will be presented by the Alumni Board president at the alumni banquet during Summer Reunion. The Outstanding Young Alumnus, Character and Service, and Robert A. Briner Salt and Light awards will be presented during Homecoming Weekend.
