Outstanding Reentry Student Award

Begun in 2005 with a very generous donation from an American Studies major who herself had been a reentry student, this award will be given every year to a graduating senior who either began or returned to college after a substantial break. It is open to students who graduated from high school and then took several years off (for any reason) before starting college or to students who began their college careers and then took several years off before returning to complete their B.A. degree.  Recipients are selected by the department faculty. 

To apply, please fill out the form below and submit to the American Studies Department office (GH-313) or email to  Sandra Medina by March 1.
