United States: Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award Trust

Deadline: 21-May-22

Wells Fargo has launched a call for application for its Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award Trust to benefit teachers who have inspired their former students to make a significant contribution to society.

The award is given to current or former academic faculty members who have inspired their former students to “create an organization which has demonstrably conferred a benefit on the community at large.”

Alternatively, the academic faculty member must have inspired their former students to “establish on a lasting basis a concept, procedure, or movement of comparable benefit to the community at large.”
