The Elizabeth Dole Public Service Award was established by John D. Pinegar, Douglas E. Smith, and Kathleen M. Smith to provide a $1000 award each year to a student of the University of Kansas who is an active member of the Dole Institute Student Advisory Board (SAB). The recipient must demonstrate their commitment to public service by supporting and growing student culture; embracing opportunities to bridge education with future goals; and participating in civic engagement.

Students interested in applying for the award must submit a completed application and attach all supporting materials by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
