Each academic institution that is interested in the award must contact skamble@cotfcanada.org by September 30 of each year to inform COTF of its interest.

COTF will send a cheque for $100 in the name of the academic institution. The award would be presented at an event, such as an awards ceremony, where COTF would receive some exposure.
