Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards
Each year, two incoming first year students receive a Chair’s Scholarship to help defray their educational expenses.
The School of History, Technology, and Society (HTS) awards two major undergraduate prizes at the end of each academic year. The Bellon Prize is given in memory of the late professor Dr. Bernard P. Bellon to an HTS undergraduate who has distinguished him/herself in academic achievement, leadership, and personal integrity. The Pierre Awards, established by HTS alumnus, Patrick Pierre, class of 1999, are given to students who submit the best essays on any topic that demonstrate engagement with broad issues of public concern and convince the prize committee of the student's passion and wisdom.
HTS, in conjunction with the Office of Minority Educational Development, also sponsors the Dorothy Cowser Yancy Incentive Award each year. The Incentive Award is given to the African American first year student with the most outstanding academic record based on GPA, curriculum difficulty, and participation in activities related to the student's program of study. The award is sponsored by former History, Technology, and Society professor Dr. Dorothy Yancy, who went on to become the president of Johnson C. Smith University, and is given by the School of HTS in her name.
