The Young Alumni Achievement Awards—previously known as the Young Alumni Ambassador Awards—was created to recognize recent IUP graduates who demonstrate excellence in their fields and to engage award recipients with current IUP students as examples of exceptional achievement.
All recent graduates of IUP (less than 15 years) who have recorded notable accomplishments in their chosen profession are eligible for this award. Each year, one outstanding alumnus/a from each college of IUP is chosen by their Dean to receive this award. The Young Alumni Achievers are invited to campus to hold seminars, presentations, and panel discussions on topics related to their professions

Those who have graduated from IUP within the past fifteen years who have recorded notable accomplishments in their chosen professions are eligible. Each year, one outstanding alumnus or alumna from each college is chosen to receive the award. To nominate an alumna or alumnus, complete the Young Alumni Achievement Award form.
Final selections are made by the deans. Winners of the Young Alumni Achievement Award teach current students about their professions by making presentations and holding panel discussions in the classrooms.
