Title: Daicar - Bata Fellowship Prizes

Abstract:

The Daicar – Bata Fund was established in 1992 in honor of Mr. Otto Daicar and to commemorate his lifetime contributions throughout the world to the Bata Corporation. Mr. Daicar, as an individual and senior executive, exemplified a devotion to performance excellence, unconditional integrity, and kindness, which guided and inspired people of diverse cultures. The initial donation for the fund came from the Bata Organization and the Daicar family, and the remainder was raised from the alumni from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and matching funds from the University of Delaware.

The Daicar - Bata prize for the Best Scientific Paper in Physics will be awarded to the PhD student who publishes the best research paper accepted for publication in a scientific journal in physics or astronomy, as judged by a panel. The top three candidates for this prize will present their work during the first fall colloquium.

The second award, the Daicar - Bata prize for Highest GPA in Physics, will be awarded to the PhD student who attains the highest grade point average in physics/astronomy courses at the end of the 6th semester in the program.
