Audre and Bernard Rapoport of Waco, Texas, have provided an endowment that enables the College of Liberal Arts to provide scholarship and research support for students who are writing a thesis in one of the Plan I Departmental Honors programs. These scholarships honor Audre and Bernard Rapoport and Robert D. King, former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Fifteen Rapoport-King Scholarships will be awarded for 2016-2017.
To be eligible for a Rapoport-King Scholarship you must be planning to graduate May 2017 with Plan I degree and must be writing a senior honors thesis in a Plan I Departmental Honors program (Plan II students are not eligible for this scholarship). Fellows will be chosen on basis of academic record, the quality of the thesis proposal, and financial need. As Mr. Rapoport has put it: the candidates should be “smart and deserving.” Rapoport Fellows are expected to meet on a regular basis with other Rapoport Fellows and their faculty mentors. Those chosen will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship for the senior year only. In addition, faculty mentors will be provided with $1,000 for research support, and it is expected that student and mentor will work closely together.
If you are eligible, I encourage you to apply. The deadline for applications — a thesis proposal, student transcript, statement of financial need, and a letter of recommendation from your thesis supervisor — is Friday, September 23, 2016, by 5 PM. Applications are available on line at: (http://www.utexas.edu/cola/progs/lahonors/scholarships/lah/rapoport-king-thesis.php). Holders of the Rapoport-King Scholarships for 2016-2017 will be announced on Monday, October 10.
