This award recognizes the many hours of service provided by Student Councils across our state to their school communities. So how do you calculate the numbers of community service hours from each school? Actually, all you have to do is calculate the number of students in a club or organization and multiply that by the number of community hours per student. The Online application is opened on our website in February. Awards are presented at the Spring Awards Program in May.

The NJASC State Charity program is the strongest of its kind in the nation, having raised over four million dollars for various worthy causes since its inception nearly 40 years ago. Each year, the State Officers carefully review and select one charitable organization to designate as the NJASC State Charity and then encourage Student Councils throughout our state to work in support of it. To recognize the hard work and donations by schools throughout our state to our State Charity, awards are given to Student Councils for several levels beginning at $1000 as well as the top three Middle and High Schools in the State. Awards are presented at the Spring Awards Program in May.

This is a prestigious award program initiated by NJASC and the New Jersey State Board of Education to encourage Student Councils to operate effectively and to reward those schools who are truly outstanding! The Standards of Excellence program is open to any NJASC member school, but a school can only receive this award once every 5 years.
Each participating Student Council will be evaluated on not only its current activities, but also on guidelines for administration of the council and its effective operation. Schools participating will visit and evaluate another school involved in the program based on defined criteria. The State Officers review all applications and decide on the award winners at their April executive meeting. Awards are presented at the Spring Awards Program in May.
