Scholarly Works Awards

Since 2017, Saint Louis University's Scholarly Works Awards program has recognized faculty’s work within the past calendar year. These awards carry a cash prize. Any SLU faculty member may nominate their own or a colleague’s work for a Scholarly Works Award at the junior or senior faculty levels in the following categories: book (in English), book (in a language other than English), nonbook scholarly publication, creative works, and public works. Nominations for this award typically open in November or December and conclude in mid-January.
