Description
The Barrick Scholar Awards, administered by the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), honor faculty members who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in research or creative activity. Supported by an endowment from Marjorie Barrick, these competitive awards recognize faculty whose scholarly publications or creative works bring distinction to UNLV. Two award categories are offered: the Barrick Distinguished Scholar Award for faculty with 10 or more years post-terminal degree, and the Barrick Scholar Award for those with fewer than 10 years. Awardees are selected by a committee of former recipients, with a focus on the quality, impact, and national/international recognition of the nominee’s work.
