The Awards and Prizes Committee calls for applications and nominations for awards, prizes, and research grants listed on the attached pages, one for graduate students and one for undergraduates.  It is especially important that we encourage our undergraduate students to apply.  We have tried to simplify the process for both professors and students. Please read these materials carefully and follow them exactly as you prepare your applications and letters of recommendation.  Applications must be submitted in hardcopies, except for graduate students who are out of the country doing research.   All applications and nominations, with the required number of copies, should be submitted to Gail Summerhill, Department of History, no later than 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 4, 2008  Applications for the Guthrie Award are due Monday, March 3, 2008.

For Undergraduate Students and Their Recommenders
Students applying for research paper prizes must submit copies of their papers bearing the instructor’s comments as well as a brief statement from the instructor explaining the significance of the paper to the field.  Students applying for scholarships must submit one letter of nomination/recommendation from a faculty member or for incoming students from a high school teacher.  Students should obtain these letters in sealed envelopes with the writer’s signature across the seal and submit them along with their applications.
