Scholarships

Every year PLU sponsors several student scholarship awards. Students are nominated by faculty members and chosen by the departmental Awards committee. The awards are presented to students at the Annual PLU Awards Banquet held in conjunction with the Spring Installment of the PLU Lecture Series. During the Banquet, the recipient of the PLU Award presents a short seminar describing his or her current research projects.

The 2021 awards banquet was held on April 15, 2021. Congratulations to all award recipients!
