CAMPUS PROCEDURE
Current students and recent graduates (within 3 years) must be endorsed by their university (but alumni who graduated more than 3 years ago do not require university endorsement). Carnegie Mellon can only endorse a limited number of candidates for this award. To be considered for endorsement, applicants must submit all application materials directly to OURSD-general@andrew.cmu.edu by the required campus deadline (including recommendation letters, which should be sent directly by the writers rather than the applicant).
