Purpose
Curtis W. McGraw (1895-1953) began his career with McGraw-Hill in 1920 in the book company’s shipping department and worked his way up to the presidency of that company in 1950. As a successful business executive, he carved for himself a place of importance and distinction in the book publishing world.
The Curtis W. McGraw Research Award was established in 1957 to recognize outstanding early achievements by young engineering college research workers and to encourage the continuance of such productivity.
The Award: The annual award is sponsored by the Engineering Research Council with the initial assistance of the McGraw-Hill Book Company. Two awards will be made – one to the top applicant from a PhD granting program and one to the top applicant from a non-PhD granting program. The award consists of a $1,500 honorarium and a certificate.
