The University of Missouri System is accepting nominations and applications for two systemwide student honors:

• Remington R. Williams Awards: nominations due Jan. 29
• Trans World Airlines (TWA) Scholarship: applications due April 7

Remington R. Williams Awards
Any student, faculty or staff member may nominate a student. Nominees must meet minimum criteria and be exceptional student leaders who have made a positive impact on the university. They should also have inspired their peers’ growth, advocated for the college experience and shown outstanding character and collaborative spirit.

These awards are the highest non-academic honor the University of Missouri Board of Curators gives to students. They honor Remington R. Williams and his service as student representative to the board from 2020-22. Each recipient receives a leadership medallion to wear at graduation, a $1,000 award and an invitation to be recognized at a board meeting hosted on their campus. Find eligibility criteria and nomination materials.

TWA Scholarship
This scholarship supports students doing research in areas that affect environmental issues. Applicants must be enrolled full time and classified as Missouri residents for tuition purposes.

The scholarship goes to at least seven students across the UM System, each receiving at least $3,500 per semester. Five recipients are chosen by a systemwide selection committee, and the MU and UMKC law schools choose at least two law students. Funds cover the following academic year and are paid in two equal installments at the start of each semester. Recipients will be notified in May. See full eligibility requirements.
