The National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) in partnership with Frontiers: A Journal of Women's Studies invites paper submissions for the 2025 NWSA Women of Color Caucus Frontiers Student Essay Award. The purpose of this award is to discover, encourage, and promote the intellectual development of emerging scholars who engage in critical theoretical discussions and/or analyses about feminist/womanist issues concerning women and girls of color in the United States and diasporas. An annual award is available for a woman of color who is a current graduate student and member of NWSA. The Editorial Collective envisions this award as initiating a relationship between the author and the journal, and thus we expect the prize-winning essay to be formally submitted to Frontiers (pending any initial revisions requested by the co-editors). We are willing to work with authors on timeline/schedule, but we kindly ask that you do not apply for the award if you are not willing to pursue the submission, review, and publication process with the journal. Submissions must be from Women or Non-Binary People of Color who are current individual NWSA members and currently enrolled in a graduate or professional program. Recent recipients of a terminal degree (no later than May 2025) are also eligible to apply. Submissions must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from a mentoring professor. The letter of recommendation should speak to the importance and innovation of the applicant's particular research interventions, and should also address the applicant's skills, accomplishments, and other qualities that make them well suited as a leader in research on women of color. Additionally, the letter of recommendation must address the suitability of the paper for publication in Frontiers. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
