Kranich Prize

The Wilmer L. and Margaret M.

This includes, but is not limited to, course work, independent projects such as the humanities and arts project, and extracurricular activities. The award is open to students who are majors in any discipline other than humanities and arts and who are completing their junior year or senior year. Wilmer Kranich was dean of graduates studies at WPI, and Margaret Kranich taught a variety of courses at WPI over the years. The Kranich Prize was established in 1994.

Salisbury Prize

The Salisbury Prizes are to be awarded to highly meritorious members of the graduating class of Worcester Polytechnic Institute who have faithfully, industriously, and with distinguished attainment completed all requirements for the B.S. degree.

Two Towers Nominee

In keeping with the original purposes of the founders of the College, John Boynton and Ichabod Washburn, the Two Towers Prize is awarded to the student who, through general academic competence, campus leadership, regular course work, and special work in research and projects, best exemplifies a combined proficiency in the theoretical and practical which is at the heart of the WPI educational tradition.  This prize was given by Mildred M. Tymeson Petrie, the author of Two Towers, the centennial history of WPI.
