Two Towers Prize

In keeping with the original purposes of the founders of WPI, the Two Towers Prize is awarded to an outstanding member of the junior class who, through general academic competence, campus leadership, regular course work, and special work in research and projects, best exemplifies a combined proficiency in the theoretical and practical union that is at the heart of the WPI educational tradition. This prize was given by Mildred M. Tymeson Petrie, author of Two Towers, WPI’s centennial history.

Students submit an application and contact faculty for letters of support.
