UNDERGRADUATE AWARDS
The University of Texas at Austin offers a wide range of awards
for undergraduates: the University Co-op / George H. Mitchell Student
Awards for Academic Excellence and the Roy Crane Award in the Arts.
Sponsorship of these awards is part of the overall mission to encourage
and promote excellence in undergraduate education.
The University of Texas at Austin, with the generous support of
the University Co-op, will annually recognize up to nine UT undergraduates
for superior scholarly or creative achievement. Five students will
receive awards of $2,000 each, three will receive awards of $5,000
each, and one will be awarded the grand prize of $20,000. The Office
of the Executive Vice President and Provost provides a concurrent
award of half the value of each student's award to the academic
department in which the scholarly work was supervised.
The Roy Crane Award in the Arts is given to a student of The University
of Texas at Austin for unique, creative effort in the performing,
literary and visual arts. An undergraduate or graduate student
from any major area of study may compete for the award. The committee,
which selects the winner, will give no weight to any entrant’s
grade point average or other academic achievement.
So that an entrant’s work may be compared with similar
forms of creativity, the award committee singles out only one area
of the arts for each year’s competition. For 2007, the visual
arts will be considered for the award; in 2008, the performing
arts; and in 2009, the literary arts. The award is $3,000.
