CSWS Offers Senior Thesis Scholarship

0910-Hidgon-scholarship-flyerThe Center for the Study of Women in Society invites applications from University of Oregon undergraduate students for the $1,000 Jane Higdon Senior Thesis Scholarship. This award is intended to support students at the University of Oregon who are preparing a senior thesis in any department on campus on issues related to women and/or gender. CSWS will also consider projects with either the scholarly rigor or a research component comparable to that of a thesis. The deadline is November 16, 2009.

This award honors the life and work of Jane Higdon, a faculty researcher at the Linus Pauling Institute at OSU and an avid endurance athlete.  The financial support for this scholarship is provided by the Jane Higdon Foundation, which is dedicated to encouraging and empowering young people to pursue healthy and active lifestyles and academic excellence.

Awards are subject to conditions set by CSWS, which falls under the purview of the UO Office of the Vice President for Research.
