Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate they met the criteria for receipt of nationally or internationally recognized awards. A 'Best Poster' award was considered a student-level award from a regional conference, not a major prize open to all in the field. Similarly, a scholarship was dismissed as an academic award for study, not an award for excellence in the professional field of endeavor.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards For Excellence
