The awards are intended to support research advancement in designated disciplines, with the number of awards and supported fields determined each year by the chapter board and allocation committee. Major donors may sometimes specify preferred disciplines. Recipients are selected by the university’s Graduate Division and relevant academic units, often via an internal nomination process that may require an application or presentation, depending on the unit. Award funds may be used for any scholarly purpose, including research expenses, equipment, travel, or living and educational costs.
