Every year, the Sociology department awards a cash prize to the student who wins the department’s competition for the Sociology Paper of Excellence, judged by a panel of three to five sociology faculty.
The prize is $250 and the winning student's name is added to a plaque in the Sociology department. The department encourages all eligible students to consider submitting an essay for this competition.
Details and criteria for this award are updated each year and will typically be made available in the department during the Winter term.
Deadline to apply: Wednesday, April 30, 2025
