2020 Hannah Graham Memorial Award
Application Deadline: ALL MATERIALS ARE DUE 20 DECEMBER 2019
Scholar Candidate Interviews: Scheduled in Mid-February
Awards Announced: Early March
The purpose of the Hannah Graham Memorial Award is to honor the spirit and impact that we believe Hannah would have had on the University and the world had she lived. Her desire to leave the world a better place than she found it, to celebrate French language, and to go forth with joy and confidence are characteristics we hope to encourage by annually recognizing a student similarly focused and inspired. We also hope that, in accepting this award, recipients accept the responsibility to “pay it forward” by promulgating the ideals for which Hannah stood. The Award is open to students from all schools and disciplines across UVA Grounds who have at least one academic year remaining at the University.
