The Penn State University Libraries announce the third annual competition for the Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis. The competition aims to find the best thesis submitted by an undergraduate student in consultation with his or her adviser. The winner will receive an award of $1,250 and second place $750 and third place $500. Undergraduate students graduating in summer 2013, fall 2013, or spring 2014 and from all Penn State locations are eligible for the spring 2014 award.
Students must submit an online application, have a statement of support submitted by a Penn State faculty member, and provide a copy of their final thesis. The competition includes a review of the submitted theses by a faculty jury and an oral presentation by the students chosen as finalists.
