SOCIETY FOR SLOVENE STUDIES

Joseph Velikonja Undergraduate Essay Prize

The Society for Slovene Studies has established a prize for the best essay or term paper in any discipline written by an undergraduate on a topic involving Slovene studies. The Society intends the award to stimulate interest in Slovene matters among younger scholars and thereby contribute to the promotion of Slovene studies in the United States and Canada.
