Each spring, with the generous support of the University Co-op, UT recognizes up to five undergraduate students for superior scholarly or creative achievement. Four will receive awards of $5,000, and one student will receive the top award of $7,000!

The application and all supporting materials must be received by Wednesday, March 20.

Who can apply?

• Applicants must be either a junior or senior currently enrolled at UT or a UT graduate who received their undergraduate degree in December 2023.
• Students must demonstrate superior scholarly or creative achievement through a notable paper or thesis, research project, creative or artistic endeavor, or other product of their academic work.
• Submitted work should be finished or almost 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.

How to apply

Students can complete their applications via Interfolio. More information about the process can be found at provost.utexas.edu/awards/Mitchell.
