The Nelson Mandela University Alumni Association invites our alumni and academic and support departments to nominate alumni top performers for the Alumni Achiever and Rising Star Awards to acknowledge individuals who have made their mark locally, nationally and internationally in their various disciplines and sectors.
Since the introduction of the awards in 2010, more than one hundred Achiever and Rising Star Awards were conferred on our alumni from across the globe. Our alumni are making a difference as corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, public servants, change agents, innovators, environmentalists, health practitioners and scientists, leading legal minds, educators and sport and arts stars. Many alumni are leading the way in Changing the World! Nominate fellow alumni who are outstanding role models, great Nelson Mandela University ambassadors and leaders in their disciplines and fields of interest.
We kindly request that all nominations clearly state how nominees meet the award category criteria as indicated in the policy document and that sufficient supporting evidence be submitted with the relevant nomination forms.
Nomination forms can be found at the end of the page as well as the Alumni Awards policy.
