Each year the Program in Medieval Studies awards the National Guild of St. Margaret of Scotland Prize for the best BA paper on a medieval topic. Recipients are not required to be majors in Medieval Studies. In order to be considered for this honor, students must be nominated by their faculty adviser by April 15. The faculty adviser should send a nomination email to the Director of the Medieval Studies Program. The student will then be asked to provide:
- A cover letter including the student's name, title of BA paper, names of readers, major/s and minor/s
- A copy of the BA paper rough draft*
- The winner will be announced in late May or early June.
*Due to the early submission deadline for this prize, the final copy of the BA thesis is not required. A rough draft of the student's BA paper fulfills this requirement.
Medieval Studies students are also welcome to apply for the Nicholson Center for British Studies's thesis prize. For more information, please visit this website.
