Contributions Sought to the Schawlow Endowment
Due to the weak return on investments over the last few years, the endowment for the Schawlow Prize has dropped below the level needed to be self-sustaining. To address this shortfall, we are soliciting donations to the Schawlow prize fund. To contribute, go the Support APS Webpage and click "APS Member" under "Contribute Online". Once you log on, select "Schawlow" prize.
