Thank you for nominating a student for the prestigious Montana Athletes in Service Award (or "MAIS").

As a Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement (MCNCE) affiliate, you may nominate one person to receive this award. This award has three specific goals:   

1. To honor exemplary student-athletes volunteers from Montana's colleges and universities for their commitment and engagement in community service;
2. To raise awareness for student community engagement and volunteering.
3. To highlight student-athletes as role models to encourage more civic engagement activities throughout Montana.   

Each student-athlete should be considered for the award based on the following criteria:

• Dedication to volunteering in the community (not necessarily hours, but that's one measure); 
• The student athlete’s overall commitment to service; and 
• The positive impact or legacy of their volunteering.

The student athlete you choose can participate in any physical sporting event. This can include varsity athletics like soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, football, golf, etc., as well as other sports and physical events like logger sports, cycling, Indian relay, rodeo, stick ball roller derby, pow-wow dancing, coaching, etc.    

This award will be presented at the Brawl of the Wild Football game at Bobcat Stadium (at MSU Bozeman) on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM (noon) and student honorees will get into the game for free. While we understand that student athletes need to prioritize games, we sincerely appreciate when students can and do attend and ask that consideration be given to students available to receive the award in-person.

 SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, October 26, 2026.
