Chi Sigma Iota International offers several individual awards to honor its members. This year, our board is excited to create the opportunity for you to nominate yourself and/or colleagues that fit the criteria for the awards below. Nominations will be reviewed by the CSI Omega Mu Awards Committee, and winners will be endorsed by the Omega Mu chapter for the International chapter's equivalent of the award. All nominators and nominees must be active CSI members.
While these are just three awards endorsed by the chapter, CSI International offers many awards and grants to its members. If you find one that you are interested in applying for but it is not listed on this page, please contact our chapter faculty advisors [[w|sgniles, Dr. Spencer Niles]] or [[w|prmullen, Dr. Patrick R. Mullen]] to discuss additional endorsements.
