Lee & Ruth Scott Prize

The Lee and Ruth Scott Scholarship was created to be awarded to a Religion major who has done exemplary work. Lee Scott was for many years a distinguished member of the Religion Department who taught both theology and ethics. He was passionate about the two fields of study and the relationship between them.

Religion Department Fellows

Every year, the faculty members of the Department of Religion nominate those students who have excelled academically to serve as Department Fellows for the following academic year. Religion fellows serve as teaching assistants in religion courses, as research assistants for religion faculty members, or in other ways to assist the work of the Department of Religion.

Theta Alpha Kappa Undergraduate Achievement Award

One student in the department who demonstrates exceptional academic excellence will be chosen by the Department of Religion each year and receive a $100 prize. The student must be a member of Theta Alpha Kappa by the fall of their senior year to be eligible for this award.
