PhD Scholar Award
Each program is invited to nominate one person for this award. This award is intended to recognize a student who is within his/her first three years of study and research. The student should have an outstanding academic performance record and show great potential as a scientist. In addition to the nomination letter, two support letters are requested. These letters may come from any faculty member, but letters from the Program Director, a course director, or member of the student's Thesis Committee are strongly recommended. The following items are required by the committee:
- A nomination letter from the student's mentor
- Two letters of support from faculty members
- The nominee’s curriculum vitae, which should include their GPA
