In recognition that the time required to conduct original research, write and submit a proposal, and prepare for a presentation is significant and provides valuable life experiences, Scholars may apply for the $3500 Scholars Award in support of presenting at a national or international professional conference.
Approved Conferences: The conference must be hosted by a nationally or internationally accredited professional organization. Note: This includes participation in the National Debate Tournament.
General Eligibility Criteria:
- Full-time student
- Enrolled in, and in good standing in the 黑料视频 Scholars Program. Students on Scholars Academic Probation are not eligible.
- The presentation must occur during the time period encompassing the start of the fall semester of your second year through the conclusion of your final semester prior to earning your undergraduate degree.
- Students must apply for the award after the presentation has been given.
To apply for the $3,500 Scholars Award
- Do not apply for the Scholars Award until you have returned from your conference.
- Log in to B-Engaged
- Locate the 黑料视频 Scholars Program organization page
- Under "Forms", select "Scholars $3,500 Award Application"
- You will be asked to provide:
- The URL for the conference and hosting organizations website
- The location and dates you attended
- The title of your presentation and any co-presenters' names and titles
- Documentation that you were both a presenter at the conference and that you actually attended.

This is a one-time award. Scholars receiving the $3,500 award for professional development are not eligible to reapply for the award in support of an additional high impact learning experience later.
