Awards and Scholarships

Gender Equity Award Nominations

UNF students, faculty and staff are eligible for the award, which is given each year to one member of the University community who has made significant contributions to the women of UNF. 

Award nominees should be individuals who actively promote women's growth at UNF, provide a positive role model for the women of UNF, work to improve the position of women on campus through advocacy and education, and exhibit qualities of leadership on campus. Nominees whose contributions may otherwise go unrecognized are particularly welcome; self-nominations are acceptable. Current UNF Women's Center paid staff are not eligible for the award.

Eligible nominees will be asked to submit additional supporting materials. For more information, contact the Women's Center at (904) 620-2528.

The recipient of the award is announced at the annual Women's History Month Luncheon, hosted by the Women's Center in March.
