WGS majors, minors, and LGBTQ studies minors should also consider applying for the WGS Scholastic achievement award - worth $50 and wonderful on a resume! No GPA is necessary, just a 1-2 page statement describing some academic work they have done that they are proud of while at OU - a course paper, presentation, etc.
And any student at OU (does not need to be a WGS/LGBTQ studies student) should consider applying for the Barbara Hamilton Leadership and Service Award - worth $50 and also terrific on a resume! No GPA is necessary, just a 1-2 page statement about the work done as an officer in a feminist organization, as someone involved in grassroots feminist organizing, or as a volunteer in a community agency.
