Awards


Scholar Awards

The 10th Annual Out-of-School Time Scholar Awards will be presented during the 2020 OST SIG Business Meeting.  We hope you can join us!

Since 2009, the Out-of-School Time Special Interest Group (OST SIG) has sponsored two types of awards, OST SIG Scholar and Emerging Scholar Awards, both established to promote and support quality research in the field of Out-of-School Time.  Recipients must demonstrate excellence, creativity, and initiative in their research; and conduct innovative, high quality research that contributes to the field of Out of School Time learning. Emerging Scholar award (category A) is awarded to a graduate student in a pre-defense stage. Scholar award (category B) is awarded to early career professionals in the first five years of their post-doctoral career.


We will not be distributing awards this year, but will resume accepting nominations in the fall for the 2022 OST SIG business meeting. Traditionally, recipients receive a plaque and a check for up to $350.
