These awards can be downloaded and completed by the applicant and submitted through your district training committee chair or to the roundtable commissioner at the next district roundtable.

	Doctorate of Commissioner Science Knot	The Doctorate Commissioner Science Award is award to a Commissioner upon completion of a standardized program leading to the completion of a thesis or project and the award of the Doctorate of Commissioner Science from a College of Commissioner Science.
