Awards

The Timothy Sykes Daytrading Award for the Talented

We are happy to announce 2008 is the fifth year for this very different award at Tulane University – The Timothy Sykes Daytrading Award for the Talented.  Open to any member of the Tulane community – student, faculty, staff or young alumni – this cash award was endowed by Timothy Sykes, Tulane College ‘03.  
 
A candidate may self-nominate or be nominated by another member of the Tulane community by means of a statement (minimum 2 pages) that describes the individual’s talent/potential and supports that description with a listing of his/her related accomplishments or an example of the applicant’s work. Applications for the award will be reviewed by a committee appointed by President Cowen.
 
Completed nominations are due by April 28, 2008 and may be submitted by
e-mail or by mailing them to the Office of Development, Suite 200, 3439 Prytania Street, New Orleans, LA 70115, Please call 504.314.7633, with any questions. 

The winner of the 2007 Timothy Sykes Daytrading Award was Susan Zaluski. Susan received a master’s degree in international development from Tulane in 2006. Susan decided to turn her offbeat ideas into an unexpected career involving boat-building, and is pursuing her dream of combining maritime preservation and boat-building as a vocational training tool for youth.

The donor seeks to recognize and nurture talented individuals whose abilities and accomplishments may not be in traditional areas of endeavor. There are many ways to be “successful” in today's society and this award acknowledges young people with unique interests and passions. This does not preclude from consideration those with significant demonstrated success in the classroom or on the playing field. It simply seeks to broaden the definition of accomplishment in a university environment.

The Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. (A&S’79) Regional Challenge Grant for Tulane Alumni Residing in the DC, Virginia, Maryland Area

Tulane alumnus Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. has announced a unique opportunity for alumni in the D.C., Virginia and Maryland area making a gift to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund. Mr. Small will match all donations, dollar for dollar*, made to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund from alumni donors in D.C., Virginia and Maryland who have not yet made a gift to the Tulane Rebuilding Fund - up to $500,000 total.
This Challenge allows these alumni to give to Tulane University knowing that the amount they give will be doubled, making the impact of their individual gifts even greater. The collective impact of new gifts from alumni and matching funds from this challenge grant will provide essential support for Tulane during its rebuilding process.
Donors from these areas need only make their gift to the Rebuilding Fund.  Qualifying gifts will automatically be applied to the Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. Challenge Grant.
