You can now nominate Loughborough Uni students for awards

There are awards for students who have performed significant acts of kindness or good neighbourliness in the community.

It is that time of year again when Loughborough University recognises outstanding students through a series of awards.

These prizes celebrate academic excellence, community spirit and artistic achievement.

University staff and members of the Loughborough community are invited to nominate students for the following awards:

Sir Robert Martin University Prize and Achievement Prize

The Sir Robert Martin University Prize is awarded to an exceptional student who has demonstrated both academic and non-academic excellence. The winner receives £1500 and a commemorative medal.

In addition, the Sir Robert Martin Achievement Prize, worth up to £1000, may be awarded to another outstanding student for their academic and non-academic achievements. However, this prize cannot be awarded to the winner of the University Prize.

Hannah Community Prize

This prize of £200 recognises acts of kindness and good neighbourliness within the Loughborough community. It can be awarded to an individual student, a group of students, or a student household.

T S Shipman Prizes

Prizes of £200 each may be awarded to students who have performed significant acts of kindness or good neighbourliness in the community. Special consideration will be given to students who are considered to have contributed to the development of cooperation and aid between the University and the local community. These awards may go to individuals, groups, or student households.

Mavis Stone Prize for Music

Awarded to a student who has been receiving music tuition through the University for at least a year, this £200 prize recognises the most significant improvement in musical ability.

The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday 9 May 2025.
