Clarkson Leadership Awards* & Clarkson Achievement Awards offers annual scholarship renewable for up to four years for qualified students who demonstrate leadership and outstanding academic achievement. Leadership & Achievement nominations are made by high school guidance counselors during the student's junior year of high school with final approval made by Clarkson University. Once nominations are received and approved, an official certificate will be mailed to the high school for presentation at a school assembly. Leadership winners will be considered for other Clarkson scholarships including both those requiring an application as well as those that offer automatic consideration based on the admission application. Please note that these awards are still considered part of the overall Clarkson merit offer.
