Prytanean Faculty Enrichment Award Winners

Since 1986, Prytanean Alumnae, Inc. has annually awarded a financial grant to an outstanding woman junior faculty member on the Berkeley campus. The original award of $10,000 is now $35,000. Through a competitive process, the winner is chosen for the record as a distinguished teacher, her demonstrated scholarly achievement, and her success as a role model for students at the University of California, Berkeley. Award winners have used the grant for child care, transportation to research sites, and conferences. Many have hired research assistants or purchased useful equipment which would otherwise be unavailable.

Members of Prytanean Alumnae, Inc., are proud to have founded the Prytanean Faculty Enrichment Award over two decades ago. Member contributions to the endowment have resulted in the organization’s ability to award over $550,000 to outstanding women faculty members. The membership looks forward to further service to the University, its students and faculty.
