The SFIS Charter Awards are made annually to five community members (undergrad, MA, PhD, Staff, Faculty).  They will be awarded to a person in each category who exemplifies the ASU charter and design aspirations in their work and service. For the students, three awards of $500 each are made possible through the generosity of our community members on Sun Devil Giving Day. Nominations close Sunday, March 22, 2026.
