Candidates must be nominated for this award by their graduate coordinator; each academic department may nominate one candidate for this award. The departments may nominate students with a lower overall graduate GPA if their doctoral program grades are higher. Students must submit the contact information of the graduate coordinator (who nominated the student) as their recommendation provider. Criteria for selection will also include demonstrated excellence in research; finalists will be required to participate in a face-to-face interview with the awards committee.
