The Awards Committee will select at least two individuals to receive the award, but have the discretion to award more than two, based upon the quantity and quality of nominations received.  Members of the Awards Committee for 2015 are Megan Buie, Texas Tech University; Michael Castilleja, University of the Incarnate Word; Amanda Miller, University of Texas at Dallas; Tena Smith, University of Oklahoma; and Mickey Stevenson, University of Texas at San Antonio.

Nomination packets are due no later than 5 p.m., submitter's local time, on Monday, June 8.

The eligibility criteria for the Joan Howeth National Travel Award are:

The nominee statement and/or the institutional support letter(s) must confirm:
