ESC Awards Program
Awards for Excellence in Engaged Scholarship
The Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC) supports and encourages excellence in community-engaged scholarship through its annual ESC Awards Program. The annual Awards Program recognizes higher education institutions and their exemplary contributions to scholarship and the practice of engaged scholarship. The 2025 ESC Awards of Excellence in Engaged Scholarship will recognize exemplary institutional programs in the following categories: Student, Faculty, Outreach and Engagement Professional, Community Partner, Institutional Leadership, Distinguished Dissertation, and Distinguished Engaged Scholar.
In 2025, ESC will hold its Awards and Recognition Ceremony during the Annual Conference (October 8 - 9, 2025). In addition to participation in the Awards and Recognition program, category winners will be invited to share their exemplary program experiences during an Award Recipients Panel presentation.
