"A" Pin Award
The "A" Pin is one of the oldest academic awards at Utah State University. Initiated in 1910, it is presented by the Dean of the College of Science to undergraduate students. It acknowledges and rewards students who achieve all A grades (4.0 GPA) while carrying 15 graded credit hours for two consecutive semesters. Courses for which a P (Pass) grade is received do not qualify for graded credits.
The pin features USU's iconic Old Main Tower and includes the word "scholarship," denoting the highest marks in scholarly achievement.
* Each asterisk indicates an additional "A" Pin award earned by the student.
