Poster Awards

Poster Awards

All posters submitted to the Mentored Student Research Conference are judged by professors in the college before the conference. Judging categories are by department and also divided by undergraduate and graduate students. Posters can be considered in the additional college-wide categories of Belonging & Diversity, Civic Engagement, Gerontology, and Western Studies.

AWARD AMOUNTS

The number of entrants in any category will determine the number of prizes awarded — it’s likely that not all categories will award all prizes. Prizes are split equally between all co-investigators registered for a poster.

First place: $300

Second place: $200

Third place: $100

Fourth place: $ 50

Students’ Choice: $ 50

First place posters are displayed outside the Deans Office on the 9th floor of KMBL. Please return all first place posters to a staff member after lunch.

RECEIVING YOUR AWARD

If your poster receives an award, please watch for an email from Stephanie Probst in the Deans Office that will be sent to your BYU email address. Please complete and return the requested forms in a timely manner.

Payment will be made by check and mailed to the address on your BYU records. Please take a moment to verify that your address on file is up to date — especially if you are graduating or moving at the end of the semester. It may take up to two weeks for your check to be processed.
