The purpose of this award is to support attendance of a high school student from the Capital District at the at the Summer Institute in Astronomy at Alfred University.  The Dudley Observatory will pay registration fees, and room and board for the winning student for this five-day program.

The Astronomy Institute is conducted at the Stull Observatory on the Alfred University Campus. This facility has been judged to be one of the best teaching observatories in the country, and is equipped with telescopes ranging from 8 to 32 inches in diameter as well as electronic detectors and support computers.  The number of institute participants is kept small to allow for individualized attention and optimal use of the observatory's telescopes and other equipment.
