The P. J. and Hilda W. Hill Award

Applications are now available for the P. J. and Hilda W. Hill Award. The award was established from a gift from P. J. Hill, a 1920 graduate of Indiana University, to be given to the outstanding senior on the IU Bloomington campus who has done the most to “better race relationships on the IU campus” during his/her undergraduate career. To be eligible for this $5000 award a graduating senior student must submit an application, resume, essay, and three letters of recommendation. In order to meet the hope of P.J. Hill’s bequest, the application requires a student to answer the following essay question: During your undergraduate years at Indiana University, what have you done to improve interracial interaction on the Bloomington campus? Describe why you made those contributions and the impact they have had or will have on IUB. To be considered all materials must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs 200 Franklin Hall by Monday, April 7^th, 2008. An application may be requested electronically by contacting spolicel@indiana.edu and the word document will be sent in the reply.
