The application for the 2015 Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award is now on line at: https://www.wellsfargo.com/privatefoundationgrants/beckman.
The Beckman Award was created to benefit teachers who have inspired their former students to make a significant contribution to society. The award is given to current or former academic faculty members who have inspired their former students to “create an organization which has demonstrably conferred a benefit on the community at large.” Alternatively, the academic faculty member must have inspired their former students to “establish on a lasting basis a concept, procedure, or movement of comparable benefit to the community at large.”
The award is given for individuals in the disciplines/professions of psychology, law, and medicine. The list of past recipients includes a number of psychologists, which is not surprising given that Dr. Beckman herself was a pioneer in psychology, as well as an educator and renowned author. For the list of past recipients, see the Foundation Information tab on the website.
Nomination applications packages must be submitted via email by June 30, 2015 at 5pm eastern standard time. For more details about the Nomination Application Package, please see the Grant Guidelines tab on the website.
