Impact Awards

We're excited to introduce the Impact Awards—two new award opportunities for ERB member schools. The application process is now open. Honorees will be announced at the 2025 Connections National Conference. Honoree prizes include funds for your school, complimentary conference registration, and for our top honorees, travel expenses to the conference.

Available Awards
