Organization at MIT organizes the MIT ASO Science and Technology Awards Banquet
to recognize outstanding Arab and Arab-American contributions to science and
technology. The ceremony draws over 100 members of the Arab and Arab-American
communities to celebrate the career-long accomplishments of the Lifetime
Achievement Award recipient. The following awards will also be given:</span><span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span>1. The Young Professional Award
recognizes the early career achievements of a young Arab or Arab-American
scientist or technologist.</span><span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span>2. The Student Awards, given to
one Undergraduate student and one Graduate student, recognize the academic and
leadership achievements of outstanding Arab or Arab-American students in
any US campus. Each of these awards comes with a $1,000 cash
scholarship.</span><span></span></p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span> </span><span></span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span>This is a great opportunity to
