The Steven J. Schochet Endowment for GLBT Studies & Campus Life provides an array of programming and services to the GLBTA community at the University of Minnesota. From research awards to colloquia to a Distinguished Lecture Series, the Schochet Endowment strives to establish a more vibrant GLBT academic community at the University and to make it more accessible to all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members.
The Schochet GLBT Studies Awards for Excellence in Creativity & Scholarship recognize the papers and projects done by students in the field of GLBT Studies at the University of Minnesota.
Awards are open to all students currently enrolled in at least one class at any University of Minnesota campus. The deadline to apply for the 2008-2009 academic year is Friday, April 3, 2009.
