Scholarships & Awards
The purpose of the Student Leadership Award is to give a deserving student the opportunity to continue to contribute to the Emory community in a positive way while relieving financial burden. The award is intended for an emerging student leader who is positively benefiting the community of Emory University.
The Marion Luther Brittain Award is presented each year to two graduating students – one graduate and one undergraduate – from any of the nine academic divisions of the university. These students are considered to have performed the most “significant, meritorious and devoted service to Emory University, with no expectations of recognition or reward.” The award is made under provisions of a gift by the late Dr. M. L. Brittain, former President of Georgia Institute of Technology and an alumnus of Emory. The Brittain Award is generally acknowledged to be the highest honor bestowed on a student by Emory University.
