Awards of $5,000 to USA, Canada, and International individuals to recognize outstanding leadership in the promotion and participation of underrepresented groups in engineering and science fields and careers. This may include African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic men, women of all ethnic and racial groups, and people with disabilities.
There are two awards:
- Lifetime Mentor Award: This individual will have served in the role of mentor for 25 or more years.
- Mentor Award: This individual will have served in the role of mentor for less than 25 years.
