What is the Hamilton Award?

The purpose of the Hamilton Award is to recognize high school students for their academic, personal, and service achievements and to select students for the Hamilton Leaders Academy – a no student cost program that helps students get into college, transition to college, succeed while in college and transition to the post college world. Some of the services provided by the Hamilton Leaders Academy include: individual college admissions assistance, peer and adult mentoring, financial aid navigation support training in vision and goal development, and internship programs.
