Bowdoin Prizes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bowdoin Prizes are prestigious awards given annually to Harvard University undergraduate and graduate students.[1] From the income of the bequest of Governor James Bowdoin, AB 1745, prizes are offered to students at the university in graduate and undergraduate categories for essays in the English language, in the natural sciences, in Greek and in Latin.[2] Each winner of a Bowdoin Prize receives, in addition to a sum of money, a medal, a certificate and their name printed in the commencement program.[3]
