The department may ask that the Thouron Award cover the first year or two, with the department picking up the remainder, and therefore costing the department less. The other benefits relate to being part of the Thouron “network/family.” If the subsequent departmental award stipend is lower than the Thouron stipend received in the first two years, the Executive Committee may consider, on a discretionary basis, to provide a top-up to the stipend for a third year only.
