Academic Year

Shain Library

Research Prize

$500 Award

Fall Applications due 12/23/2024

Winners published in Digital Commons

Eligible applicants must:

• Be currently enrolled undergraduate students at Connecticut College.

• Have completed research or other work (as defined broadly on the Home tab) for a credit course in the current Fall or Spring semester (honors projects are ineligible).

• Any collaborative or team research project must be submitted as a joint prize application and the prize must be split equally among the entire team, regardless of how many team members do the work of filling out the application. It is not possible for multiple prize applications to be made from the same project.
• Only one submission per applicant is allowed per academic year, as this is a somewhat lengthy process; we want students to choose their best work.  However, if you submit an application in the Fall and then wish to submit another application in the Spring, you will be asked to select one of those applications for consideration.

• Agree that all application materials may be kept on file by the Library Prize Committee, and may be referred to on the library prize website.
  

• Agree that, if selected as a winner or finalist, a citation for the winning entry or entries, along with their corresponding research statement(s), will appear in the Digital Commons (full-text inclusion in Digital Commons or in a related digital publication will be optional).
  

• Agree to attend the library prize awards ceremony in October during Fall Weekend.
