History of Science Society: Schuman Prize for Graduate Students
All graduate students in the history of science are encouraged to
enter the Henry and Ida Schuman Prize competition. Initiated in
1958,
the Schuman Prize is the second oldest prize offered by the
History of
Science Society, and past winners are among the more
distinguished
scholars in the history of science and medicine. The prize carries a
$500 (US) award and up to $500 reimbursement in travel expenses
to
help the winner attend the HSS annual meeting, in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, 20-23 November 2003.
The Prize is awarded for the best original essay by a graduate

and
submitted in English or accompanied by an English translation.
