Apply The Outstanding Senior Recognition honors graduating or graduating seniors who have made significant contributions to Texas A&M University-San Antonio through academic achievement, campus leadership, involvement, community service, honors, and awards. To be considered, a student must first be nominated by a faculty, staff, student, or alumnus. The Outstanding Senior Award Committee reviews applications from the nominated students, and a select few are invited for interviews with the committee; ultimately, the committee selects the outstanding seniors.
