Graduate Student Awards
D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Award
The
D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize was established to recognize excellence in doctoral research.
Each year the winner of the D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize has been the University of Iowa's nominee in the national competition for the
Council of Graduate Schools/University Microfilms International Distinguished Dissertation Award. Prizes are awarded annually in two of four
broad disciplinary areas - Humanities and the Fine Arts, Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Social Sciences.
The Graduate College, in turn, holds two D.C. Spriestersbach Prize competitions in the areas specified by the Council of Graduate Schools,
with the winners being our nominees in the national competition.
