Since 1992, the Steuber Prize for Excellence in Writing has honored undergraduate writers in the College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The contest is open to all kinds of writing: expressive, informative, and persuasive. Excellent work is rewarded with prizes up to $10,000 and one year (fall/spring) of tuition and fees. Finalists receive smaller awards. Winners are announced at the Spring Polygon Banquet.

The Steuber Prize is made possible by the generous donation of William Steuber, who attended the College of Engineering in the 1920s. He served as the Assistant Engineer for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. He has authored three books, including The Landlooker, which received critical acclaim from The New York Times.
