To apply for the above COAS scholarships, please see the undergraduate advisor in SY 230 or visit the COAS web site. The recipient must have an outstanding academic and extracurricular record, and have shown commitment to Jewish student initiatives and activities. Students must have at least a 3.2 overall GPA and a 3.3 average in Jewish Studies. The prize will be awarded by a faculty committee in April 2001. Such a research and mentoring experience is not only one of the best ways to foster future excellence in research and creative activity, but also one of the best ways to provide undergraduates with an individually-defined capstone for their undergraduate education.
All undergraduates are eligible to apply.
A representative faculty committee will decide on the final awards. Any IU Bloomington undergraduate student is eligible to compete in the Henry A. Bern Memorial Essay Competition, held each spring. The paper may be written on any topic relevant to Jewish Studies. Research papers, essays, and creative writing have been submitted in past competitions. It may have been previously submitted in a course, however, a clean copy must be submitted for this competition.
