The Carroll L. Wilson Award provides an opportunity for one or more MIT graduating seniors to pursue a challenging international activity aimed at making a tangible and transformative impact in society. The Award particularly, but not exclusively, supports topics that will address challenges in energy, health, technology, the environment, sustainability, and/or science.
The Award honors the legacy of the late MIT professor Carroll L. Wilson who throughout his career sought solutions to important global problems through the application of scientific, engineering, economic, and political analysis to programs of action. The underlying goal of his work was the improvement of relations among countries and the strengthening of their institutions and people. The Carroll L. Wilson Award embraces and celebrates these principles.
Applicants will be judged based on their academic accomplishments and commitment to solving problems related to global sustainability. The Selection Committee includes members who personally worked with and were mentored by Carroll L. Wilson.
