Educator Awards
President's Prizes for Outstanding Achievement in Primary & Secondary Education
Sponsored by the Entomological Society of America
Professional Awards
This award recognizes and encourages outstanding contributions to applies integrated pest management in North America and the U.S. territories. The annual award consists of an inscribed plaque and an award amount that varies depending upon the interest earned from the endowment.. The awardee is presented with the plaque at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting.

Integrated Pest Management Team Award
This annual award recognizes the successful efforts of a small collaborative work team approach to pest control but must include one entomologist from the private sector and one from the public sector. (A team is defined as no more than 10 team members.) The focus of the award is teamwork and project success. The award, which will be given to each team member, will consist of an inscribed plaque.

Recognition Award in Urban Entomology
This award recognizes and encourages outstanding extension, research, and teaching contributions in Urban Entomology. Urban Entomology is defined here in its broadest sense as the study of the biology and control of arthropods found in the home or surrounding landscape. This includes structural and wood-destroying pests and pests of ornamental plants, shade trees, and turf. The award consists of an inscribed plaque and an award amount that varies depending upon the interest earned from the endowment.. The awardee is presented with the plaque at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting. Find out how to apply.
Thomas Say Award
This award is given for significant and outstanding work in the fields of insect systematics, morphology, or evolution. The amount of the award varies depending upon the interest earned from the endowment. The awardee is presented with the award at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting.

Student Awards
The International Congress on Insect Neurochemistry and Neurophysiology (ICINN) Student Recognition Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry, Toxicology, and Molecular Biology
The award shall be made on the basis of recognizing and encouraging innovative research in the areas of insect physiology, biochemistry, and toxicology in the broad sense. The areas of research may include: development, genetics, defense mechanisms, and other offshoots of physiology, biochemistry, and toxicology. The award consists of an amount that varies depending upon the interest earned from the endowment and a certificate of recognition. Find out how to apply.
The Larry Larson Graduate Student Award for Leadership in Applied Entomology
This leadership award acknowledges Master's students who exhibit exceptional interest in the study and application of entomology through outstanding research and leadership skills. As applied entomology continues to adjust and change with new developments in technology, people with exceptional leadership skills and vision will be required to address the significant challenges of establishing science-based pest management solutions. Within Dow AgroSciences, the highest distinction of leadership is represented by the VISTA Leadership Award-- a corporate recognition bestowed on individuals who have developed and mastered the key attributes of leaderships and, in so doing, have positively influenced the direction of science and industry.
It is hoped that through recognition of these same leadership attributes, promising entomology graduate students will be encouraged to further their education to meet the future challenges of agriculture and urban pest management. The award is presented at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting. Find out how to apply.
