Stetson University Library Research Prizes

The library announces the opening of competition for the duPont-Ball Library annual Evans C. Johnson Research Prize and the R. Neil Scott Research Prize.

The Evans C. Johnson Research Prize may be awarded each spring to a student whose documented research paper in EH 121, ENGL 101 or a First-Year Seminar (FSEM) from the previous calendar year shows thorough, effective, creative, and ethical uses of the library and research resources.

The monetary award is given by an anonymous donor in memory of Dr. Evans C. Johnson, Stetson University Professor of History 1953-1997. Dr. Johnson required students to illustrate effective use of research resources in papers for his courses, and this award is designed to reward such scholarship. In addition to the monetary award, the winner will receive an engraved plaque, funded by R. Neil Scott.

The R. Neil Scott Research Prize may be awarded each spring to a student whose documented research paper in EH 121, ENGL 101, or a First-Year Seminar (FSEM) from the previous calendar year shows thorough, effective, creative, and ethical uses of the library and research resources. The R. Neil Scott Prize will give preference to papers dealing with the general themes of business or economics.

The monetary award is given by Stetson alumnus and former Stetson librarian, R. Neil Scott, MBA,'82. In addition to the monetary award, the winner will receive an engraved plaque.

The Prizes will be awarded at the Academic Honors Convocation, usually held in April each year. For more information, please see the documents in the column to the right.
