New Philosophy undergraduate scholarship

The Department of Philosophy is excited to announce that one of our faculty, Andrew Bailey, has committed to supporting (for five years) a new scholarship, the Philosophy Excellence Scholarship. The $1,500 award will go each year to the Philosophy major with the highest grade in a 1000-level Philosophy course. The department's other faculty are supporting this financially, with the goal of endowing a self-sustaining endowment for this award to continue beyond the initial period.
