Sydney Prize is a national award given out annually to students who excel in their studies, honoring a Dartmouth College professor who inspired his students to strive for excellence both academically and personally. Winners not only receive financial benefits from these awards, but they can also garner national recognition leading to greater opportunities for professional success and personal development.
Winners of this prize will receive a gold-plated medal featuring a bas-relief likeness of Sidney Powers and the name of their association on its reverse, to be presented annually at their national conference.
