AWARDS & OPPORTUNITIES
The Michael F. and Ellen R. Glazer Best Honors Paper and Project Award
The Best Honors Paper and Project Award was established in honor of the founding Director of the Maryland Honors Program, Dr. John Portz. In 2009, it was renamed the Michael F. and Ellen R. Glazer Best Honors Paper and Project Award when Mr. and Mrs. Glazer generously donated the funds to support this merit award for Honors students.
Each spring, a committee of Honors faculty and staff reviews all submissions (self nominations or nominations from faculty) and selects the prize winners. Each winner receives a prize of $100 and is recognized at the Honors Citation Ceremony.
There are two principal categories for the award. The first is scholarly papers in any area, either critical, analytical, or experimental. The second category is creative projects in writing, visual, or performing arts. The submissions must have arisen from an Honors course, either an Honors seminar, an H-version, an Honors independent study, or a college of departmental Honors course. Award winners are announced at the Spring Honors Citation ceremony.
