Non-Departmental Awards

There are hundreds of awards and opportunities apart from the divisional and departmental awards that are also open to and of interest to anthropology students. Some of these include:

• The Deans' and Chancellor's Award, designed to encourage and stimulate outstanding scholarship and creativity among undergraduate students based on work they've already developed during the academic year.
