Description
The Barrick Scholar Awards, administered by the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), recognize and celebrate faculty members who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in research or creative activity. Supported by an endowment from Marjorie Barrick, these prestigious awards are given in two categories: the Barrick Distinguished Scholar Award (for faculty with 10+ years post-terminal degree) and the Barrick Scholar Award (for faculty with fewer than 10 years post-terminal degree). Awardees are selected based on the extraordinary quality and quantity of their research publications or creative works, as well as their impact within and beyond UNLV.
