Dr. David G. Price received his PhD in Astronomy from OSU in 1975. In 2000, Dr. Price established an endowment to support the David G. Price Fellowship in Astronomical Instrumentation. David has served the Ohio State University in a number of capacities, including being college representative on the Alumni Advisory Board and on the Large Binocular Telescope Advisory Board. He set up this endowment to help support the Astronomy Department's instrumentation efforts at the LBT and other observatory facilities.
The Price Fellowship is awarded to a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow working on astronomical instrumentation, and provides stipend support for up to a full year. The intent is to allow the student to focus on an instrumentation project instead of serving as a TA or research assistant. The fellowship was first awarded in 2001. Candidates for the Price Fellowship are recommended to the Graduate Committee and the Vice-Chair for Instrumentation. It is not necessarily awarded every year and may be received at most twice during a student's graduate career at OSU.
