Money for your research: the UCLA Library Prize for undergraduates
A new funding opportunity for our undergraduate researchers is available through the UCLA Library. The inspiration for the UCLA Library Prize for Undergraduate Research came from Ruth Simon, lover of books and libraries. This new prize has been established:
- to encourage undergraduate students to reflect on the research process in the pursuit of excellence in their academic course work;
- to recognize the significance of information literacy as it relates to academic learning; and
- to reward undergraduate students who incorporate the collections of the UCLA Library into their research.
All applications are due by 4 p.m. on Monday, April 6, 2009. Two awards will be given: first place receives an award of $750, and honorable mention receives an award of $300.
For complete details, such as eligibility and the application process, visit the Library Prize for Undergraduate Research web page. If you have questions, please contact Alison Armstrong, director of Undergraduate Initiatives.
