The glory and half a grand can be yours!

The Consortium Library Award for Undergraduate Research recognizes and honors an undergraduate research paper or project that demonstrates significant use of the Library's collections or services.

• Does your paper or project include a complete, consistently formatted bibliography, reference list, or works cited?

The committee accepts applications from the Monday after Thanksgiving to the Monday after finals.
