Through its Honors Student Recognition Program, the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) recognizes and applauds graduating student members who have demonstrated exceptional accomplishments and involvement in scholarship, leadership, and community service in Family Science, and NCFR encourages these students to continue contributing to the discipline.

We are pleased to introduce our new Student Honors Recognition submission process through OpenWater. 

Students may submit applications for themselves or an application may be submitted for a student by someone else such as a college/university faculty or staff person or an employer. Awardees receive a graduation stole, a certificate, and recognition in NCFR Communications.
