Departmental Awards

All departments will announce a series of endowed scholarships. These are not scholarships that you need to apply for; the faculty look at the description of who should receive the award and choose recipients from among their majors and minors. Some programs use this opportunity to announce departmental awards, such as Outstanding Senior or other recognitions.

Come to one or both of these awards sessions to find out if you have been awarded a scholarship and to support the other students in your program!
