Like the administration of the Keller Memorial Scholarship, the foundation acts in partnership with the school district on the East Aurora Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame.  Each year, the East Aurora School District recognizes up to five (5) nominees.

Eligibility for nomination and selection may include any or all of the following criteria:

• Excellence in their chosen field
• Outstanding service to their community (local, regional or national level)
• Contributions to humanity (local, regional or national level)

Commemorative plaques are presented to each honoree and displayed at East Aurora High School.  Inductees are invited to be guests of honor at a special assembly to speak to high school students.

The selection committee and nomination process are managed by the foundation. Nominations remain in consideration for two years. Candidates will be notified in the fall that they will be receiving the award at the induction ceremony and assembly to be held the following spring.

Nomination Guidelines: 

• Anyone may submit a nomination.
• Nominees must have graduated from East Aurora High School at least ten years prior to their nomination.
• Nominations may be submitted for posthumous awards.
• Those currently seeking election to a political office cannot be considered.
• Nominations must be submitted on the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Nomination Form and may include additional supporting information and materials.  Additional materials will not be returned.
• Nominations must be submitted by October 15 to be considered for the following year.
