Submit Your Paper for Research Awards
The Asian Studies program has expanded its annual undergraduate Research Award into two categories. Essays, often written for lower level courses, are generally less than ten pages and may be a book review, response essay, etc., and Research Papers are more substantial, typically more than 10 pages with a significant engagement with multiple sources. A faculty committee will select one awardee in each category who will also receive a small scholarship and a certificate at an event around Honors Week in April.
To submit for the awards, you must email your paper with a cover page (including name, CWID, email address, and a 3-4 sentence summary) to asianstudies@as.ua.edu. The deadline is Monday, January 21 at 11:59 pm. Both Research Awards are open to any University of Alabama undergraduate. For more information, check the Asian Studies website.
