1. Eligible students can nominate themselves or be nominated by a DePaul faculty/staff through this form. The nomination process typically opens in September of each year. Check back for information.
2. Nominated students will have the opportunity to write a supporting statement which typically has a deadline of late September. Any students wishing to self-nominate will still have the opportunity to submit their forms through this deadline as well.
3. Applications will be reviewed by DePaul University's Lincoln Laureate Student Selection Committee the following week with a recipient typically chosen after the first week of October.
4. In November, the recipient will be invited to attend the Student Laureate Convocation at the Old State House in Springfield, IL (COVID pandemic opening stage allowing), to receive their award. This will be followed by a luncheon for all the Student Laureates at the Governor's Mansion.
*DePaul University will sponsor travel for student and one guest to the convocation.*
