Awards, Honors, and Advancement
In support of chapter, academic, and institutional development programs, chapters may reach out and make awards to deserving people, including benefactors, by making one of the two following Epsilon Pi Tau awards. Usually, this is done during an initiation program attended by university officials, initiates, and members.

William Everett Warner Awards Program: To honor Epsilon Pi Tau’s founder, the William Everett Warner Awards Program has been established to stimulate and recognize excellence members for their achievements in their professional work. Undergraduate and graduate students can be recognized for their projects, writing, and research and there are provisions to recognize chapters for their operations, programs, and services. For each category two awards are made in each region. At current values, the total that may be awarded each year in all categories and regions is $15,000.

The Paul T. Hiser Exemplary Publication Awards Program: This award was established to recognize the best single article to appear in The Journal of Technology Studies each calendar year and has a value of $500.00

Chapter Awards: Awards that do not duplicate or take the place of the adopted citations of the honor society may be made by chapters for appropriate meritorious professional service. These programs are consistent with Epsilon Pi Tau’s lifelong, career-long membership. They exemplify Epsilon Pi Tau’s commitment to maintain supportive contact with members throughout their careers and to recognize members’ professional successes.
Maintaining these recognition benefits requires more resources than the honor society’s membership dues. The Epsilon Pi Tau Fund was created to enable these enriching activities. As a 501c IRS organization, tax-exempt gifts can be made to the fund to support the Warner and Hiser Awards programs and any other development or scholarship effort the Board of Directors approves.
