Nanette R. LaCross Prize
Purpose: Two sets of cash prizes and awards are available this year. They promote creative work and scholarship that relates to the values and mission of the Matthaei-Nichols. They are not intended to be student stipends (in lieu of salary.)
Eligibility: Students must be enrolled in PITE (Program in the Environment – for undergraduates) or SEAS (School for Environment and Sustainability – for graduate students.) Students who have concurrent majors/minors/degree candidacy with other units are eligible as long as one is PITE or SEAS. The work that merits a prize or award may be recent, current, and/or proposed for the near future. Preference is given to students who have not won previously. Candidates may apply directly or be nominated by other students, staff, or faculty.
Amounts
About $12,000 will be distributed. In recent years most awards and prizes have been under $2,500 but this is not a preexisting cap.
