Earhart Emerging Scholar Award was discontinued in 2015.
The Earhart Emerging Scholar Award was given to junior or senior students involved in original undergraduate research in the area of anthropology, communications and journalism, economics, history, language, philosophy, political science, religion and theology, or sociology. The research culminated a complete project that had received faculty oversight and approval.
