Each spring, WPLC makes several awards of up to $2,500 to graduate students. During the 2017-18 academic year, more than $25,000 in financial support will be awarded.
Several members of WPLC, who serve on an awards review committee, read and rank all of the applications and nominations. The shortlisted selection is presented to the full membership, who then votes to approve the finalists. Applications are accepted late winter and finalists are notified before the end of spring semester.
The application process includes completion of the online application form, submission of a resume, an unofficial transcript, and a CEHD faculty member's recommendation.
