The outstanding student is identified by faculty among the graduating BAT students each spring.


JOSEPH S. FLORES AWARD

This award was established in 1995 in memory of Joseph S. Flores.  The award is given to an outstanding undergraduate in Hispanic Studies.  No applications are solicited for this scholarship. The outstanding student is identified by faculty among the graduating Spanish major students each spring.


ALVARO MONSERRAT LLARDÉN SCHOLARSHIP IN CATALAN STUDIES

Through a generous bequest from the Monserrat family in memory of Alvaro Monserrat Llardén, the Department is able to offer a scholarship in support of the study of Catalan language, linguistics, literature, and culture.  This award is open to any student, undergraduate or graduate, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Requirements are that the recipient engage first and foremost in the study of the Catalan language and, after language study has begun, that the recipient take at least one course per semester in which Catalan language, linguistics, literature, or culture are included.  (The required work in Catalan language itself satisfies the per-semester coursework requirement.)  Applications available each Spring semester.


PAUL W. BORGESON STUDY-ABROAD SCHOLARSHIP
Paul W. Borgeson was a professor of Latin American literature in the SIP department from 1981 until his death in 1999.  Paul’s family, his wife, Mary, and his children, Jennifer and David, endowed this scholarship in Paul’s memory to honor his career and to encourage like-minded undergraduates to study in the countries of Central and South America.  Applications available each Spring semester.
