The 2024-25 Student Award Nomination Period is Closed

Nomination Procedure

Compose a letter (approximately 1 page) for each nominee explaining your reason for recommending the student. Nominators should specifically address how the nominee meets the award criteria. Attach any relevant materials that will assist the Student Awards Committee in making their decision, such as publications, CVs, and additional letters of nomination. In addition to a letter, you may request the nominee to upload their resume and transcript to the nomination. Faculty support letters are highly recommended.

The committee may seek additional information about the most promising nominees. Previous award recipients are ineligible to receive the same award again but may be recommended for any remaining awards. Nominators are encouraged to refer to the description of each award, which includes a list of previous awardees.

Self-nominations with no nomination letter or supporting documentation are discouraged.
