Awards & Recognition

The Michigan Association of Student Councils & The Michigan Association of Honor Societies offer many awards to recognize the efforts of its elementary, middle level and high school councils and chapters. We encourage all of our members to submit applications for all of the awards so that we may recognize the tremendous efforts you put forth!

AWARD DEADLINE FOR 2007-2008: FEBRUARY 29, 2008

**New for 07-08**
You will notice many of our award applications are no longer PDF format, only text within the site. This should allow for easier text copying/pasting, as most councils would need to retype all contents anyhow. We hope this makes the submission process easier for everyone! To view more award details, select an award below to view the requirements and the application.

For any applications that do still require us to put up a PDF, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader (it's free) to view those PDF files.
