Throughout the year Undergraduate Academic Affairs coordinates the selection of students for various University Scholarships and Awards. The Elisabeth Luce Moore and William and Teresa Meyer Awards are described below. Students chosen for these awards will be recognized at the annual Undergraduate Recognition Award ceremony scheduled in May.

Faculty members can nominate a student for one of these awards.
