Graduate student awards are to recognize the contributions to our campus, the disciplines, and/or to the community. Students being nominated should have achieved the milestones of their degree expectations and have provided their colleagues and our community with examples of involvement above and beyond the expected.
We are currently accepting submissions for the following awards:
Karl H. Beyer Jr., MD, PhD Scholarship: This scholarship shall be awarded to full time graduate students enrolled in the College of Medicine who have achieved positive academic scholarship, show dedication to the enrichment of their academic area of interest, as well as for their contributions to campus, the community and their disciplines.
Graduate Alumni Society Award: This honor is awarded to graduate students enrolled at the College of Medicine who manifest promise of academic success, who indicate a high level of professionalism and who demonstrate promise of success in their scientific careers.
Charles And Katharine McLaughlin Award For Excellence In Teaching: Consideration for this award shall be given to full-time graduate students who are pursuing a doctoral degree at the Penn State College of Medicine, or successor academic unit, and who have achieved excellence in teaching over a period of two semesters.
The Graduate Education Awards Committee will select the recipients of these awards.
Students may self-nominate and should apply only once as the selection committee will consider all students for all awards. Faculty should nominate students they feel meet the criteria.
