Class of 1944 Prize for Graduate School Preparation

This prize, also awarded by the Class of 1944, will be awarded retroactively to help reimburse costs incurred in preparation for MCATs, LSATs and Subject GRE exams, or to defray the costs of multiple applications to Law School or Medical Schools or PhD programs. Members of the Honors Program who have incurred such expenses should submit a brief letter explaining your graduate plans, the expenses incurred, and a brief description of your financial need. You will need to submit documentation of your expenditures, such as copies of receipts or canceled checks, along with your letter.
