Barksdale Award

If you had $5,000 to put toward a dream, what would you do? Where would you go? How would you expect to be different when you came back? Each year the SMBHC hopes to make two $5,000 awards to support creative, courageous projects proposed by highly talented students who are willing to take some risks with their time and efforts and who propose ambitious, independent programs of study, research, or humanitarian effort.

Interested? Check out the criteria for eligibility and the guidelines. Then, move from dream to strategy, from vague plans for future contributions to specific designs for experiential learning. Think of this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove and to improve yourself. Propose something that students can ordinarily only dream about and then dismiss, with a “someday…”

Make us jealous.
