To encourage SOKENDAI students to pursue outstanding research, the head of each department nominates candidate(s) to be considered by the selection committee for two awards. The committee subsequently selects winners from the nominees for the "Nagakura Research Incentive Award". The "SOKENDAI Research Award" is awarded to those among the remaining candidates who have also carried out excellent research.
