STLE grants three academic awards through its Presidential Awards Program. These awards are administered by the STLE Presidential Council and are meant to encourage students to pursue an advanced degree or a career in tribology or lubrication engineering by subsidizing a research project related to the field. Their project is also published in TLT magazine upon completion. For more information about the award process, go to our
