Institute for Humane Studies Academic Writing Competition

Four grand. Not shabby.

I'm excited to announce that the Institute for Humane Studies has just created two academic writing competitions with $4,000 in prizes to recognize the work of outstanding graduate and undergraduate students. Select finalists will receive travel reimbursements to attend and present their work at the 2008 Social Change Workshop. The submission deadline is January 31, 2008.

If you, or someone you know, will be a full-time student during the 2007-08 academic year, I encourage you to check it out. I’ve included some details below and more information is available online at www.TheIHS.org/essays.
