Each spring CCA sponsors the All-College Honors Awards competition, which are then granted during the fall semester. Twenty-three scholarship awards are given to students in the BA, BFA, and BArch undergraduate programs.

Merit prizes are awarded based on a juried portfolio review. Enrolled undergraduate students are eligible to submit portfolios for this one-year prize.

• Entrant must be a full-time student enrolled in a degree-seeking program during the spring semester and must plan to enroll as a full-time student in the fall. Students expecting to graduate in spring or summer semesters are ineligible. (Note: Continuing Graduate Comics students are eligible as long as they are enrolled in 6 units during the fall semester.)
• Entrant must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher and in good academic standing.
• Recipients of the Hamaguchi Award are ineligible to compete in the visual works category.

Award recipients must be enrolled full-time at the college in the fall semester; otherwise, the award is relinquished and granted to the next honorable mention recipient in the category.
