The Society for Military History – Northern Great Plains History Conference

Prize for Best Graduate Student Paper

The prize consists of a certificate and a monetary award. The award will be presented at the Society for Military History luncheon. The recipient must be present.

The paper must be authored by an enrolled (at the time of submission) graduate student. The student's major professor must verify the student status. The paper should normally be presented in an SMH-sponsored session, unless combining it with others in a regular NGPHC session is more desirable.

To compete, the graduate student must submit copies of the paper to both their session chair and commentator, and to the SMH coordinator by the submissionn deadline, usually 1 September.The SMH coordinator will select three commentators/chairs to serve as judges. The judges should not have graduate students in their sessions.

Approved: SMH and NGPHC Council, 2004. First award to be in 2005.
