Earhart Emerging Scholar

Earhart Emerging Scholar Award was discontinued in 2015.

The Earhart Emerging Scholar Award was given to junior or senior students involved in original undergraduate research in the area of anthropology, communications and journalism, economics, history, language, philosophy, political science, religion and theology, or sociology. The research culminated a complete project that had received faculty oversight and approval. Emerging Scholars were nominated by the University and presented their research at the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters. Recipients received a $725 award as well as reimbursement for conference expenses.
