The criteria for nominating a candidate (living or deceased) for this honor is broken down into four categories:

• Lifetime Award: Those alumni of Edwardsburg Public Schools who have been out of school for at least 40 years and whose lives have demonstrated character and distinction reflecting honorably upon the district and its heritage.

• Special Award: Those alumni, faculty, staff or friends of Edwardsburg Public Schools whose actions and/or achievements may not be categorized in any of the above, but are deserving of such recognition and honor. These awards may be made for humanitarian actions, special contributions or other causes as may be determined by the nominating committee and approved by the selection committee
