Applications are now open for the 2023 University Co-op George H. Mitchell Student Awards for Academic Excellence.

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 Tuesday, March 21.
