Each spring, the College Writing Committee presents six awards for outstanding undergraduate and graduate student papers.
First place winners receive a cash prize of $100 and have their writing published and presented on Scholars' Day.
Entries may be submitted by instructors or by students themselves. The papers must have originated in a course taken at Cortland during the calendar year immediately preceding the deadline for the contest. For example, papers written for classes taken between January 2004 and December 2004 are eligible for the February 2005 contest. The contest deadline occurs in February.
