Description
The American College Health Foundation offers the College Well-Being Award to help institutions of higher education create or improve the networks, resources, tools, structures, and coalitions behind student well-being. Projects should connect this infrastructure to creative programming and outcomes research that demonstrates improvements in students’ lives.
The award takes a broad view of well-being that includes individual, population, and environmental conditions—not clinical care alone. It encourages innovative approaches developed across campus health, academics, student affairs, and administration, with evaluation-driven, measurable outcomes. Applicants must define well-being for their campus and explain how their activities will contribute to it.
