Selection Criteria (please take these points into consideration when composing your letter of nomination)

The award is given to a student who, through personal initiative, has done the most to promote
awareness of science or technology.
The award recognizes not only what the student has accomplished, but the future potential of that
student.
Student initiative in either the school or the larger community should be a very important consideration.
The award does not necessarily have to be given to the student with the highest rank.
The award is not restricted to any one-grade level.
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR SCHOOL ADDRESS SO I KNOW WHERE TO SEND THE AWARD!!!
