Every spring term as part of Showcase and SURCA, the Washington State University Emeritus Society grants four $500 awards to WSU undergraduates for excellence in research and scholarship. Awards are given in the areas of Arts and Humanities, Behavioral, social, and economic sciences, Biosciences, and Physical sciences. Engineering research is also welcome and will be assigned to the appropriate area. Faculty advisors, if you are mentoring a student who is doing outstanding work, please call this program to their attention. The application process is very simple and can be found on our web page, www.emeritussociety.wsu.edu.
