The Graduate school offers via annual competition (by nomination only) a limited number of Honorific fellowships to graduate students in their last year of graduate school. The fellowships consist of full tuition and a (taxable) stipend  for the ten-month academic year.

This award, established in May 1985 by the many friends of Ray Grimm and Cray Research, Inc., makes available $\$4,500$ for two advanced students (or $\$1,500$ each if shared between three students) who has demonstrated significant achievement in computational physics. This prize is awarded via annual competition by nomination only.

This award carries an honorarium of $\$1,000$ and travel expenses to the presentation ceremony http://www.cgsnet.org/Default.aspx?tabid=170.

The physics department offers teaching awards to those who have been outstanding AIs in courses.  This award is by nomination only, and it is offered to up to five students once an academic year.

The Compton Fund is a travel fund that reimburses up to $600 per student per fiscal year (July 1st-June 30th) for participation in a conference, workshop or school.
