2025 Community College HEED Award Application

INTRODUCTION TO THE 2025 INSIGHT INTO ACADEMIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE HEED AWARD APPLICATION!

Welcome to the 2025 Insight Into Academia Community College Higher Education Excellence and Distinction (HEED) Award application. Each application is reviewed by the Insight Into Academia HEED Award committee and receives two scores, one is embedded in the application itself, the second computed by committee members' input after a comprehensive review. Each institution that meets a minimum total score as set forth by the committee will be named a 2025 Insight Into Academia HEED Award recipient.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Only not for profit U.S. accredited institutions of higher education may apply for the HEED Award. No individual schools or colleges may apply (i.e. the College of Business, the College of Education), only the institution as a whole.
We offer you the opportunity to submit additional information on every question via a "comment box". We highly recommend using these boxes to offer any additional details of programs or efforts, clarifications, explanations, descriptions, or insight that you feel will be helpful in our review. DO NOT include website links in your application.
Being a previous HEED Award winner does not guarantee being a current HEED Award winner. Ensure that your application contains all relevant information you would like us to consider each year. DO NOT cut and paste from your previous application.
Remember to print/save your application before submitting.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT A SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW YOUR APPLICATION FOR COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY BEFORE SUBMITTING.
The deadline to submit your Insight Into Academia 2025 Community College HEED Award application is May 29, midnight EST.

This application is comprehensive and may necessitate reaching out to other offices on your campus for information and data. You can save your responses beginning on the second page of this application by entering your email address at the bottom of the page. You will then receive a link that will return you to your partially completed application at any time.

Each Insight Into Academia Community College HEED Award recipient will receive a high-resolution 2025 Insight Into Academia Community College HEED Award logo in English and Spanish and have the opportunity to be recognized in the October Insight Into Academia HEED Award issue. If you have any questions about the HEED Award or this application, please contact Lenore Pearlstein at lenore@insightintoacademia.com.
