Bess H. Ward Honors Thesis Award

This award is offered each Fall and Spring semester, and can provide up to $750 to support research or creativity leading to an Honors Thesis that will be completed as part of the Honors in the Major program.

The awards can be used to cover expenses such as travel to perform research, books, basic supplies, or participant support for surveys. Any equipment or materials purchased with the award money become property of the student, although the student may elect to donate the equipment to a department or college upon completion of the thesis.

To be eligible for this award you must:

  • Have a minimum FSU GPA of 3.20
  • Be actively working on an Honors in the Major thesis

The deadline to apply for this award is typically in September for the Fall semester and in February for the Spring semester.
