Now in its fifth year, the Student Achievement Awards exist to reward student involvement at Robert Gordon University.

This covers a wide range of things such as being a society member, class rep, volunteer and more. The event started four years ago as the Scarlet & Gold Awards and has grown remarkably ever since. It incorporates the Scarlet Awards, RGU:Union Volunteering Awards, the MV Gold Award (a prestigious award given to students who show outstanding leadership, dedication and achievement) and the Student Rep Awards. The Scarlet Awards are given to society members for their hard work and dedication. This includes a Half Scarlet, Recognition Award and the much coveted Full Scarlet Award.

The 2011 awards took place on Friday 25th March. Full results are detailed below:
