For 15 years, KMOX Radio has selected and recognized thirty St. Louis metropolitan area high school students each year from hundreds of nominations.  KMOX created this program in an effort to address an age group that is often the focus of negative attention.

The KMOX/Southeast Missouri State University Student of Achievement program recognizes 30 students in the St. Louis metropolitan area who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in academics, athletics, the arts, community service and leadership.

Eligibility Criteria
- To be nominated for this award, a student must satisfy the following criteria and be nominated by their high school principal or counselor:
- Reside in the St. Louis metro area (including St. Louis City and County, St. Charles County, Franklin County, Jefferson County and Metro Illinois)
- Entering their junior year of high school
- Have earned a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.5 at the end of the sophomore year
- Demonstrated outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, the arts, community service and leadership

Watch for next year's entry forms to be posted in September 2008.

Sponsors of the program are Southeast Missouri State University, KETC Channel 9 and the Suburban Journals.
