Nominations
Accepting applications for 2023 nominations
The Troy University Alumni Association will recognize distinguished individuals through the Distinguished Alumni of the Year and the Honorary Alumnus of the Year Awards at Homecoming. The addition of the Honorary Alumnus of the Year reflects a change made by the Alumni Board of Directors so that deserving friends may be nominated. Individuals chosen as Distinguished Alumni of the Year are Troy University graduates. The Honorary Alumnus Award is given to a non-graduate who has served, promoted and loved the University in the tradition of loyal alumni.
