Alumni Association Awards Nomination Form

The WPI Alumni Association presents awards for professional achievement, service to WPI, and service to the broader community each year. The Association's Citations Committee welcomes nominations from the WPI community on a rolling basis, and nominees are evaluated each fall and winter for presentations being made the following fall during WPI's annual Homecoming celebration.

Please refer to the information on this page prior to beginning your nomination to learn more about the awards and each award's specific criteria. We thank you for your participation in this process and look forward to reviewing your nomination.

Nominations for awards that will be presented during Homecoming in the Fall of 2026 must be received by December 19, 2025 for consideration during this awards cycle. Alumni from reunion classes ending in 1 and 6, as well as non-alumni, will be considered for the 2025-2026 awards cycle.
