The ANU J.G Crawford prize is awarded each year to the most deserving graduate students for recognition of the quality of their graduate work. Two prizes are available for award to PhD students who have been approved to the degree during the preceding calendar year, normally one for the natural sciences and one for social sciences/humanities. The main criterion used by the Committee is academic excellence.

Sean will receive a medal for desk display and a monetary prize of $2000. Where possible, the prizes are presented at the University’s Graduation Ceremonies.
