The awards are based on a combination of academic performance and demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter.
The awards may include a monetary prize, a certificate of achievement, and recognition at a formal ceremony. The Blake Family Metric Awards program is intended to encourage academic excellence in mathematics, engineering, and computer science, and to support the development of future leaders in these fields. The program also serves as a testament to the importance of academic excellence in these critical fields of study.
