The Leadership in Moral Courage Award was established to recognize and acknowledge students who are driven by empathy and compassion to effect change and make a difference in the lives of others; such change being the direct result of actions taken by the students for moral reasons despite the risk of adverse consequences. Recipients of the Award, through acts of selflessness and courage, have demonstrated a commitment to personal and organizational values at a testing point. All rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors pursing their undergraduate degree at Georgia College & State University are eligible.
In addition to the Bobcat Award, awardees will receive a scholarship for the following academic year provided by two generous donors to Georgia College. The awardee will be granted this scholarship after the award ceremony
