Events & Programs
State and National Awards Reception
Each spring, The Office of Nationally Competitive Awards recognizes state and national award recipients and their mentors at an annual reception of UA faculty, staff, and students.
Workshops
The Office of Nationally Competitive Awards regularly holds workshops for specific awards. These workshops will include a scholarship overview, advice on preparing the application, and distribution of sample applications and successful materials. The campus deadline for these awards usually comes a month or two following the workshop, allowing students enough time to prepare applications.
