Community College Baccalaureate Association

The Pioneer Award is presented annually to an individual who has taken the lead in improving access to postsecondary education. The award’s name recognizes that such leadership required the same bravery and tenacity exhibited by early settlers in the United States, Canada and in many other countries.
