This award was established “to support outstanding students in chemistry”. It is open to chemistry graduate students in all areas of specialization. It carries a $2000 honorarium.

This award will be presented at the Lee Dinner and places its emphasis on research accomplishments, and are aimed at students who will receive their PhD in the near future. The nominees for these awards must have passed the Advancement to Candidacy examination at the time of nomination and intend to defend their PhD between Spring Quarter of 2024 and Winter Quarter of 2025. Off-window nominations will be accepted, but should include an explanation for why the nomination does not meet the usual graduation window criterion. Students may only be nominated once for the graduation awards. In the past, students who won these awards were either unusually productive (e.g., they published a number of first-author papers) or did research resulting in significant scientific breakthroughs for their groups. This award will be reviewed by the Graduate Fellowship/Awards Committee and requires the submission of the nominee’s thesis abstract and CV.
