Service to University Sport Award

These awards are designed to recognise people who have given an outstanding and highly commendable contribution to Adelaide University Sport and FItness, or to Sport at the University of Adelaide, for at least 10 years’ duration for Association-based service and 15 years for club-based service.  The awards may be given posthumously.

The recognition is for sport service at University of Adelaide level only and, accordingly, should be seen as separate and distinctive from affiliated club award systems.  It is regarded as a higher award than a Club Letter in the case of club-based service.

Honorary Life Membership of Adelaide University Sport, however, shall continue to be conferred upon any person who, in the opinion of the AUSF Board, has rendered long and single service to the Association.  It is regarded as a higher award than a Service Award.
