The Anna Runyan Award
In 2012, the FSU Foundation received an unrestricted gift from the estate of Anna H. Runyan, who graduated from FSU in 1954 with a B.S. degree in Physics. She worked for the Navy as a physicist in Panama City, FL. She died in 2012 and willed money to FSU "to be used as seen fit by the FSU Foundation's officers". This gift was used to establish the Anna H. Runyan Scholarship in Physics, to be distributed every year.
