CGS presents annual awards at the CGS Annual Meeting to young scholars in recognition of their work. A member institution is also recognized at the Annual Meeting for innovative programmatic efforts in promoting an inclusive graduate community.
This program recognizes promising efforts in initiating or scaling up innovations in graduate education that occur from admission through successful completion of a degree program, focusing especially on innovations that promise success of a diverse and inclusive student population.
This award, established in 1972, is presented annually to a scholar-teacher in the humanities. The award and the fields of competition are determined annually.
These awards are made annually to individuals nominated by a member institution, who have completed dissertations representing original work that makes an unusually significant contribution to the discipline.
As the national advocate for graduate education, CGS serves as a resource for policymakers and others on issues concerning graduate education, research, and scholarship. Based in Washington, DC, the organization provides its members with regular updates and analyses of legislative and regulatory proposals and policies that affect graduate education.
