Every fall, a meritorious senior from each of the four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities in Illinois is awarded the Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award and becomes a Student Laureate.
Typically, this award is bestowed during a special ceremony in Springfield, Ill., that includes all the student laureates, their families and university leaders.
