The EDUCAUSE Rising Star award is intended to recognize an information technology professional who, while early in his or her career, demonstrates exceptional achievement in the area of information technology in higher education.
Awards will be made at the discretion of the EDUCAUSE Recognition Committee, which may choose to grant one award, no award, or multiple awards in any one year.

- Candidates must have demonstrated exceptional early achievements and have made significant and demonstrable contributions to their institution(s), and to the profession.
- Candidates may not be currently serving on the EDUCAUSE Board, staff, or Recognition Committee.

- Evidence that the contributions of the candidate are having a sustained and positive impact on his or her institution.
