Two awards are being offered this year. The SOM Prize is a $50,000 Research and Travel Fellowship which will enable one outstanding student to do in-depth research, meet with other professionals in the field, and pursue independent study outside the realm of established patterns. A $20,000 Travel Fellowship will be awarded to a runner-up.

An independent jury of prominent professionals, together with one SOM Foundation director, will select the winners, based on portfolios, research plans, and travel itineraries.
