Gwen Williams Prize

Established by the Hemingway Trustees to recognize extraordinary work by faculty in April 2002, the prize also honors Gwen Williams, who devoted many years of service to the Hemingway Grants as a trustee. The trustees select the Williams Award winner from final reports to the Hemingway Excellence and Collaborative Grants received during the previous two years. In addition to plaques of recognition, projects recognized by the Williams Award receive a $5,000 cash award.
