2024 Outcomes Awards

At a time when the value of a college education is increasingly being questioned, it is important that we push back internally.  Institutions should be celebrated when they produce student outcomes demonstrating the value of a college degree.

To receive this award, institutions needed to be nominated by a school counselor, independent educational consultant, community-based organization professional, a faculty or staff member on campus, or the Leading Colleges team.

The Leading Colleges Awards Selection Committee has reviewed the nominations and identified 34 institutions across 23 states being recognized for ensuring student outcomes demonstrating the value of a college degree.

The goal of Leading Colleges is to create a meaningful lens for school counselors, independent educational consultants, and community-based organization professionals to identify student-centered colleges and universities.  This work is done through two main programs: the annual awards and the ongoing work of the membership organization.
