Department Prizes and Awards for Graduate Students
Robert John Battig Graduate
Prize
Recipients of the Battig Prize are graduate students in mathematics
at Cornell who have passed their A exam (typically in their second year
of study). Any such graduate student is eligible regardless of social
and financial background. A department committee composed of the chair,
the director of graduate studies and three members of the department's
graduate admissions committee select a recipient each year based on excellence
and promise in mathematics. The Battig Prize is a monetary gift ranging
from $500 - $1,000.
Eleanor Norton York Award
Each year a student in the Mathematics Department and a student in the
Astronomy Department, in which Eleanor York was employed, are selected
to receive this award. The recipients are chosen from those in the middle
of their graduate education on the basis of their achievements to date
to encourage them to have even more success in the future. The York award
is a monetary gift for approximately $500.
Hutchinson Fellowship
Awarded by the Mathematics Department to graduate students who have been
outstanding in their work as teaching assistants or as students in the
graduate program, the Hutchinson Fellowship provides one semester of relief
from teaching to allow students to work on their thesis problems. Accordingly,
it is given to students who have completed three years of study and are
not in their final year.
