The Jon C. Graff Prize in Historic Preservation was established and endowed by Dr. Graff to support advanced graduate students in their transition from the program into the field of preservation. The prize will be presented to one or more students annually, and includes a commemorative medal and a financial award, which may be used to pay for travel and attendance at a conference, to support independent research, or to pursue other avenues of professional advancement of their choice. The first awardees of the prize were Daniela Tai (ARHP ‘19) and Paula Nasta (URPD doctoral student).
