BSA Young Botanist Awards

The BSA Young Botanist Awards recognise outstanding graduating seniors in the plant sciences. The top 25 nominees receive a Certificate of Special Achievement, complimentary student membership for the remainder of the calendar year, and publication of their names in the Plant Science Bulletin. Other strong nominees (minimum 'B' average and meritorious activity in plant biology) may receive a Certificate of Recognition, complimentary student membership for the remainder of the calendar year, and publication in the Plant Science Bulletin. Nominations are submitted by current Botanical Society of America members and are judged primarily on recommendation letters and supporting materials.
