New TASSA Awards

In 2014 TASSA launched a very successful young scholar awards program that aims to recognize and honor the achievements of young Turkish American scientists and scholars, and since the beginning of this program approximately twenty awards have been given out, covering a broad spectrum of fields and early career stages, including junior faculty, postdoctoral scholars and graduate students, all under the age of 35.

At the last TASSA meeting in Chicago, two new awards were announced, namely the Aziz Sancar and Kenan Sahin Awards, to strengthen TASSA’s commitment to this exciting Young Scholar Awards Program. Both Aziz Sancar and Kenan Sahin are inspirational leaders and long term supporters of TASSA, and through these new awards their prestigious legacy will continue to inspire, motivate and honor the very best of the next generation of scientists, scholars, engineers and entrepreneurs.

TASSA is asking its members to nominate outstanding scientists to these prestigious awards, which will be presented for the first time at the 2018 TASSA Conference.
