The Sister Scholastica Most Committed Sponsor Award was created in 1994 at the
suggestion of the student delegates at the National Convention, who wanted to
create another award to honor outstanding Sponsors of Mu Alpha Theta Chapters.
The Award is named after Sister Scholastica, who was a dedicated Sponsor
from 1972 and a fixture at the National Conventions, until her retirement. Beginning with the 2007-2008 school
year, the winner of the Sister Scholastica Award will receive a $2000 cash prize and a $1000 grant for their chapter.
Only Sponsors who will attend the the National Convention may be nominated.
To nominate your Sponsor, complete the Nomination Form*
and submit exactly three letters of recommendation (including one by the nominating student) by June 15
to:

Recommendation letters may come from the nominee's current or past students, co-workers,

The winner of the Sister Scholastica Award is chosen by the Student Delegates at the
National Convention and is honored at the closing ceremony of the convention.
Nominating students may be asked to make a speech to the Student Delegate Assembly
on behalf of their nominee.
