Chancellor’s Trophy

The Chancellor’s Trophy Award is a district-wide award developed by the Peralta Board of Trustees and Chancellor Thomas W. Fryer.  The award is given at the end of the spring semester to recognize and honor outstanding second-year students who best exemplify leadership, commitment to academic excellence and community service, and who demonstrate clear goals for the future.

Candidates must be full-time students carrying a minimum of 11 units per semester and should have completed a minimum of 36 units.  Candidates must also have a minimum GPA of 2.0 and should have participated in extra-curricular activities during their college attendance.

The finalists are screened by a committee composed of the Chancellor and two members of the Peralta Community College District Board of Trustees.  The winner receives an award of $2,500 and a trophy.  The other finalists receive $1000 each and a trophy.

The amounts of the award vary each year. For more information about this award, please contact the Chancellor’s Office at (510) 466-7202.
