Astronomical Society of Australia
Awarded annually by the Astronomical Society of Australia together with the Australian Academy of Science for outstanding research in astronomy by an Honours student or eligible Masters student at an Australian university. The prize consists of the Bok Medal, an award of $1,000 and ASA membership for the following year. It commemorates Bart Bok's work promoting undergraduate and graduate study of astronomy in Australia during his term as Director of Mount Stromlo Observatory from 1957 to 1966, and sits within the ASA's wider prizes and grants program.
