The Global Undergraduate Awards
UA Eligibility
Juniors, Seniors and recent graduates of Brown University are eligible to submit their best coursework (including independent study papers or research papers) to UA in order to be considered for recognition as the top student in their field or concentration. Selected awardees will also be invited to the UA Global Summit in Dublin, Ireland in November.
The Global Undergraduate Awards is the only pan-discipline academic awards program in the world, identifying leading creative thinkers through their undergraduate coursework.
This process is highly competitive, and Brown's students have been selected as global and regional winners.
