Each year Sandhills Community College recognizes students who have distinguished themselves in an area of study. Traditionally the awards are presented in ceremonies held near the end of the academic year. Because of the move to online classes in March and later the partial closing of campus, the events were not able to be held. Awards were still bestowed on the students nonetheless.
