Fordham College at Rose Hill has a long tradition of honoring and supporting academic excellence. In addition to traditional forms of recognition such as the Dean’s List and induction to prestigious Honor Societies such as Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Sigma Nu, the College offers a wide range of scholarships, awards, and travel fellowships to its students. Many of these awards have been made possible by the generous and continued support of FCRH alumni and alumnae.
The College also strongly encourages its students to compete for fellowships and grants, and works closely with the Matteo Ricci Society, which helps students to prepare for Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Mellon, Truman, NSF, and other awards. |

| GRADUATION AWARDS |

 On an evening preceding the University Commencement, the senior class of Fordham College at Rose Hill holds Encaenia, or Commemoration. Emerging from a tradition both biblical and medieval, solemn and light, Encaenia is the evening on which the College honors the graduating class with awards and prizes while the graduates in turn bid farewell in the persons of the Class Valedictorian and the Lord or Lady of the Manor.
