Over its 39 year history, Who’s Who Among America’s High School Students and The Dean’s List have honored the achievements of high school and college students, respectively. The Chancellor’s List is proud to continue that same tradition of integrity and support of graduate students. The purpose of the Chancellor’s List is to provide recognition for the positive academic achievements of qualified graduate level students.

Every year, professors, deans and leaders of civic and community service organizations affiliated with post graduate institutions are invited to nominate outstanding students who have achieved "Chancellor's List" honors, or comparable academic achievement, have a B+ average or are in the upper 10% of their classes. The objective is to honor academically qualified students, however a specific institution designates them.
