Rose of Corrapaise Achievement Prize

The Rose of Corrapaise Achievement Prize (RCAP) is an award given by the University of Corrapaise to citizens who over the course of their careers or lives have "substantially contributed to the betterment of Corrapaison society." As it recognizes an individual's lifelong accomplishments, it is typical for the RCAP to be given in the later years of a recipient's life, but younger recipients are still frequent. The RCAP is not an annual award and may be given to as many or as few individuals per year as the prize's nominating council decides.

The nominating council is made up of twenty-seven anonymous members of the University, who among themselves decide on a recipient, or whether the award be given at all. If the nominating council decides to give the award, letters of congratulations are sent to the recipients. Days later, the names and accomplishments of the recipients are made public, and an award ceremony is held soon after. A recipient may refuse the award, but such a choice has yet to be made.
