The Chester E. Eisinger Prize Two Chester E. Eisinger Prizes are awarded annually to recognize excellent scholarship among American Studies students. These prizes are named in honor of the founder of American Studies at Purdue, who encouraged such excellence by his example as a scholar and teacher. This award provides support for students traveling to libraries or archives to conduct research on American Studies projects, and goes to the student whose proposal is deemed most worthy of support by members of the Eisinger Prize Committee. More than one award may be made, depending on funds available. The Committee invites your contributions to fund the Eisinger Prize.
All contributions are tax deductible.
