PVAMU Humanitarian Award

Prairie View A&M University Humanitarian Awards, first initiated during the 2004-2005 academic year, are awarded annually during the University’s spring commencement exercises. The award recognizes a Prairie View A&M University student and a non-student individual whose life and humanitarian service clearly exemplify a true spirit of love and helpfulness to others. As a state institution dedicated to service to the community, PVAMU uses the Humanitarian Award as a way to inspire students, alumni, faculty, staff and members of the community to live a productive life dedicated to responding to the unmet needs of others.

Humanitarian award recipients receive an award medallion and names are announced during commencement ceremonies each year.
