Armstrong graduated from Purdue in 1955 with a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">He received an honorary doctorate from Purdue in 1970 and countless awards and honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal. In 2007, Purdue dedicated the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, the flagship of the College of Engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column is-one-quarter-desktop is-full-tablet is-full-mobile page-layout-sidebar is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\" class=\"wp-image-1067\" style=\"width: 500px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/neil-arm3.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/neil-arm3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/neil-arm3-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column is-one-quarter-desktop is-full-tablet is-full-mobile page-layout-sidebar is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"section \">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns page-layout-columns columns is-multiline is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column is-full-tablet page-layout-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns page-layout-columns columns is-multiline is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column is-full-tablet page-layout-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">TIMELINE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"timeline-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"timeline-line-vertical\"> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column no-margin-bot is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"timeline-circle me-3 mt-1\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>August 2025<br><\/strong>Call for Nominations<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"timeline-circle me-3 mt-1\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>November 1, 2025<br><\/strong>Nominations Due<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"timeline-circle me-3 mt-1\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>July 20, 2026<br><\/strong>Prize recipients announced on or before July 20<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE NOMINATION PROCESS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can nominate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominations for individuals or teams from around the globe are welcome.
