EMSA History





In 1999, Emory Muslim Alumni established the platform for an award dedicated to the local community and broader Ummah. Foundational considerations include maintaining broad student appeal, attractive financial incentives, strong educational focus, and a comprehensive approach inclusive of Oxford, Emory College, and Emory’s graduate programs to expand Emory’s Muslim award recognition to a larger global audience. Today, Emory University Muslim Service Award (EMSA) embodies religion, the human spirit, and community service. EMSA serves to further strengthen community, increase awareness of Islam, and incorporate multi-national cultures into the fabric of society through a dedicated focus on community service. A distinct goal of EMSA is to educate the broader public regarding Islam’s focus on humanitarian service and significant impact Muslims undertake to improve lives of global citizens.



EMSA Administration





EMSA Trustees and Executive Team serve as award administrator and seek close collaboration with departments across Emory including the Office of the President, Office of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies, the Office of Spiritual and Religious Life, and Campus Life to advertise, market, process, distribute, and disburse the award.


EMSA Adjudication





EMSA Trustees and Executive Team adjudicate the award through an advisory committee which reviews applications and collectively decide on the winner(s). EMSA advisory committee consists of seven (7) voting persons and three (3) alternatives with representation from several areas across Emory highlighting the collaborative approach that has become a hallmark of the award.
