Inez Bell Caskey Student Scholar Awards

Undergraduate researchers in the College of Arts and Sciences are eligible for the Inez Bell Caskey Student Scholar Awards. The funding for these awards was generously given in 2009 by Dr. Thomas Caskey in honor of his mother, who graduated from Winthrop University in 1930. The Caskey Awards are given each year in three categories: Humanities and Arts; Social Sciences; and Science and Mathematics. Award recipients are selected by a faculty committee in a highly competitive process. Winners are chosen based on the quality of their scholarship and the significance of the work to the students' disciplines.

 

SOURCE Awards

Starting in 2021, students who participate in SOURCE have the chance to win an award from the Undergraduate Research Office. These winners are students that stood out among the judges and displayed great passion for their research, performance, or project. 


The Janice Chastain Houk Award for Undergraduate Research

The Janice Chastain Houk Award for Undergraduate Research was created in 2007 by her husband and sons to honor her life and memory. Two awards are presented annually, one to a Biology student and one to a Political Science student.
