IACP Polenske Award
The IACP has established a student traveling fellowship award in honor of M.I.T. Urban Studies and Planning professor Karen R. Polenske. Due to the generosity of one major and a number of additional donors the Polenske fellowship now has a sufficient endowment to make two awards each year to permit students to travel to major international conferences to present their work related to China planning.

In 2010 the IACP anticipates providing two Polenske travel awards:
