Institutionally nominated honors and awards

The sponsors of certain honors limit the number of nominations per institution. When this is the case, all prospective nominations must be processed through the Office of Research Development, except for the Blavatnik Award which is handled through the Provost’s Office. A process is in place to evaluate possible nominees and select the one that will best represent our institution. Those who don't follow the internal process will be disqualified because they lack an institutional endorsement.

Please email ord@k-state.edu with questions.
