Beginning in 2007 at the 22nd Symposium on Fusion Engineering, a best student paper award is presented at each symposium. Submitted student abstracts are prescreened by the awards committee. A select number of students are invited to present a 10-minute oral summary of their paper at the Fusion Technology Committee luncheon, held early in the week of the symposium. Award winners are announced at the banquet and presented with a plaque and $500 check.
