Program Description The submission process requires that the individual, organization or institution be nominated by a colleague, administrator, institution, or student. Nominations may only be considered for one of the two categories of award, either individual or institutional, but not both. Only one award will be made to a single institution or an individual at that institution per annual competition. Nominations for the individual award must clearly delineate the achievements of the individual as separate from those of the institution or organization; nominations for institutions or organizations must reflect the organizational as different from individual achievements.

- A curriculum vita of the nominee; and
- Letters of support (a maximum of 5) from colleagues and students attesting to the nominee's demonstrable and sustained achievements in the mentoring of underrepresented students in science, mathematics and engineering. These letters will be available to nominees on request.
Organizational nominees:
- A statement summarizing (describing and documenting) the mentoring activities that constitute the basis for the nomination, including a list of specific mentoring activities contributory to the success of the students mentored, and materials documenting the sustained achievements in mentoring underrepresented students;
