Application Process

1. Application Period

Monday, December 13, 2021 - Monday, February 7, 2022
  • Award applications require information from both the students and faculty.
  • Students may apply for more than one award.
  • Students may upload publications for consideration.
  • Faculty may support multiple students for multiple awards.

2. Recommendations

Due: Monday, February 14, 2022
Application Process initiated by the student:
  1. Students use the online form to briefly describe their research and to list the names of potential recommenders.
  2. When the online form is completed, potential recommenders will be contacted automatically to obtain letters. Potential recommenders can decline to make a recommendation; otherwise, reminders are sent until the recommendation is received or the application period ends.
  3. Faculty have two options for submitting their recommendation:
    • Completing a short endorsement section using the online form, which can be used if the student is only applying for this award; OR
    • Uploading a detailed recommendation letter, which is more appropriate if the student is also being considered for the other major awards.

3. Reviews

The submitted profiles will be reviewed by a committee of faculty members. Winners will be selected based on the merits of the applications.
