Evaluation
Only students in CTAHR’s academic programs are eligible for prizes awarded by CTAHR. Winners from previous years are eligible for prizes. Again, to be eligible for prizes, original or creative work must be presented. Students presenting work primarily conducted at another university, e.g., a PhD. student presenting M.S. research done at another university, are not eligible for awards.
