The Lloyd-Russell Prize gives US$100 to an EMU student who wrote an outstanding paper on gender or sexuality in the past academic year. Both undergraduate and graduate students can enter.
About this scholarship
The Lloyd-Russell Prize for the Best Paper on Gender or Sexuality recognizes outstanding student writing on gender or sexuality. It is named in honor of Anna Lloyd, former President and Executive Director of The Committee of 200 (an organization of top U.S. women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders), and Kathleen Russell, a former Assistant Dean of Students, coordinator of EMU’s LGBT Resource Center and lecturer in the School of Social Work. It is one of several paper awards run through EMU’s Women’s and Gender Studies scholarships page, alongside the Margaret L. Rossiter Award (graduate paper) and the Donald Drummond Award (undergraduate paper). The prize recognizes strong scholarship.
What the award includes
- A cash prize of US$100.
- Recognition for outstanding academic work.
- Related WGST awards may be presented at the Women’s and Gender Studies honors reception, but check whether this one is.
Who can apply
- You must be a current EMU student, graduate or undergraduate.
- You must have written an outstanding paper of 10 to 20 pages in the past academic year.
- The paper must focus on gender or sexuality.
- A brief nomination letter from the sponsoring professor should accompany the paper.
- Nationality is listed as “any,” since the prize is for any EMU student.
- One third-party site wrongly describes applicants as high school students. EMU’s own text says EMU students, so I’d ignore that.
