- The recipient should be what we consider a true ABE student, i.e.someone who left school without completinggrade 11.
- The recipient should demonstrate excellence, probably in the area of outstanding progress being made (not necessarily academic achievement).
- The recipient should be someone giving their courses their best effort
- The recipient should be a role model for other students, perhaps one showing some leadership skills, and being a good team member of the classes and the school.
