Did you write a stand-out paper for Origins? How about Scientific Discovery, or even, gasp, a non-honors course? Apply for the Eckles Prize today!
This annual prize recognizes students who produce a research project in their freshman year that demonstrates significant and meaningful use of library services and collections at the George Washington University.
First year students are encouraged to submit a research project of any length or format, along with an essay summarizing how they used library resources to complete the project. Students should submit the one project that reflects their best work of the year. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 submissions:
-
1st Place: $500
-
2nd Place: $300
-
3rd Place: $200
The application deadline for the 2013-’14 academic year is Friday, May 16.
Applications must be submitted electronically to ecklesprize@gmail.com.
