The Beckman student applications are closing soon! As we approach the deadline of March 1 (originally February 23), we want to remind faculty members of a few key items:

• Eligibility: Participation is limited to the 12 faculty members previously identified as eligible for this year’s Beckman Award.
• Repurposing SPUR Applications: To facilitate a more efficient application process, we encourage you to repurpose your existing SPUR applications. This approach acknowledges the value of your prior efforts while maximizing your potential for recognition under the Beckman Award.
• Submission Guidelines: Please ensure your application, whether original or repurposed from SPUR, aligns with the Beckman Award criteria and submission guidelines. Details can be found here!
• Reward: Each Beckman Scholar-Mentor team will receive a total of $26,000 to cover stipends and research expenses.
