Perkins' project was selected from seventeen applications reviewed by SMTA members and industry educators. The award includes $5,000 (which goes directly to the student) and travel expenses to SMTA International, during which Perkins will be presented the award at the SMTA Annual Meeting by Hutchins Grant Committee chairperson Laura Turbini, Ph.D. of the University of Toronto.
