Eligible students will be exceptional undergraduates who have demonstrated leadership and impact in their chosen area of study in research, scholarship, or creative activity. Faculty are encouraged to nominate their eligible students; students are also required to submit supporting documentation. More information and nomination forms can be found here. 

Students will receive a custom-engraved award to signify this honor and are profiled across multiple media channels, including the UMass website. There will be an event to celebrate the student honorees and their faculty mentors during the spring semester.
