Franklin Miller Award

The Franklin Miller Awards are given to students who make unusual or significant contributions to the academic environment of the College. The awards are named for Franklin Miller Jr., a long-time member of the faculty and a distinguished physicist, teacher, and textbook author.

The Franklin Miller Awards were established by Edward T. "Chip" Ordman '64, who credits receiving a modest, named award as a student with helping him get into graduate school. The award is meant to give that same small, but meaningful, encouragement to deserving students whose efforts and ingenuity, though they do not win traditional accolades, have made a difference in the life of the Kenyon College community.

Nominations are accepted in September and March of each year. Winners will be chosen by the Provost and Vice President for Student Affairs, and each receive a credit of $250 to their Bookstore Account. Any student is eligible for this award.

Fall 2018 nominations will be due Friday, September 28, 2018.

Nomination Form     Fall 2018 will open in the middle of September.
