Awards and Honors are a vital part of the OSA legacy, and we work hard to ensure that the endowments which make these awards possible will continue for future generations.

Recognizing technical and business excellence, as well as service to the optics and photonics community, is a vital part of the Optical Society's legacy. We have also established several new prizes to acknowledge the outstanding work of students in the field of optics.

Contributors support the endowments of existing awards, and provide funding for the establishment of new prizes. Please visit Current Campaigns to learn more about supporting an existing honor or contact our staff for information about establishing a new program.
