Tyler Prize
The Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement was established by John (1887-1973) and Alice (1912-1993) Tyler. The award was originally named the Tyler Ecology Award (1973-1981), then was re-named the Tyler Ecology - Energy Award (1981-1983), and, finally, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement Award. As of 2011, sixty-three individuals and four organizations have won the Tyler Prize.
The Tyler Prize was administered by Pepperdine University from 1974 to 1980. Since 1981, the prize has been administered by the University of Southern California. Formerly headquartered in the USC Office of the Provost, the Tyler Prize now comes under the auspices of the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies in the USC
Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
