Description
The Barrick Scholar Awards at the University of Nevada Las Vegas honor faculty members who have demonstrated a distinguished record of research or creative activity. Supported by an endowment from Marjorie Barrick, these awards are conferred based on the exceptional quality and quantity of scholarly publications or creative achievements. Recipients are selected by a committee of former awardees, ensuring the recognition is reserved for truly outstanding contributions in research or creative fields. The program offers two categories: the Barrick Distinguished Scholar Award for established faculty and the Barrick Scholar Award for those earlier in their academic careers.
