Nominees must demonstrate sustained and significant contributions to graduate education at Purdue University through activities such as:

• Significant administration of graduate programs

Up to two awards of $2,500 each will be made.  Awards will be presented at a banquet to honor recipients at the beginning of May.

This is a limited submission competition where each department will internally select a nominee. Afterward, a board representing the OGSPS will decide on the final awardees. Awardees will be contacted by OGSPS directly.
