Iredell Jenkins Endowed Memorial Scholarship
The Iredell Jenkins Endowed Memorial Scholarship is named after the late and much loved Iredell Jenkins, who chaired our department and graced the University for more than thirty years. It is awarded each Honors Day to the single most outstanding student of philosophy at the University. Those who wish to be considered for the award are urged to apply by submitting one or more (maximum of three) philosophical essays, of any length and on any topic, double-spaced. Students submitting an essay must provide it to the departmental secretary in 336 ten Hoor Hall no later than noon on the third Friday of January.
The Iredell Jenkins Endowed Memorial Scholarship carries with it a substantial cash award, and the names of the winners are inscribed on a permanent plaque in the lobby of ten Hoor Hall. This year, First Prize went to Hugh Thompson, $2,088; Second Prizes went to Matthew Haney and Matthew Price, both receiving $750 each; and Honorable Mentions went to Nicholas Gajewski, Kathryn Picard, and Karissa Rinas each receiving $400.
