Scholarship Opportunity – UT Co-Op George H. Mitchell Award

Applications are now open for the 2022 George H. Mitchell Student Awards for Academic Excellence.

With support from the University Co-op, The University of Texas at Austin recognizes undergraduate students for superior scholarly or creative achievement. Four students will receive awards of $5,000, and one student will receive the top award of $7,000. In addition to the student awards, the Provost’s Office provides a concurrent award of half the value of each student’s award to the academic department in which the scholarly work was supervised.

Who can apply?

  • Nominees must be either a junior or senior currently enrolled at UT Austin or have received their undergraduate degree in December 2021.
  • Students must demonstrate superior scholarly or creative achievement through a notable paper or thesis, research project, creative or artistic endeavor, or other product of the student’s academic work.
  • Submitted work should be finished or close to finished (e.g. a complete draft of a thesis or research paper).
  • Previous Mitchell Award recipients are eligible only if the submitted work is a completely different project.
