Paper Prizes

What are Paper Prizes?

Paper prizes will be awarded for published results from work supported by the TLC and an annual prize will be awarded to the best paper.

$100 will be awarded to each Sam Houston State University contributing author of a published paper.  For consideration, the following conditions must be met:

• The submission must be a full citation with DOI, author's email, which Teaching & Learning Center (TLC) program sponsored the paper, and a link to the publication. The journal submission must show the funding support as the TLC, and acknowledge the TLC program that inspired it.
• Published papers will be featured on the TLC website as well as on the Research & Assessments page of the external website.
• An award for best paper submitted will be $1000 for the best paper to be shared amongst the authoring team. This prize will be announced at the annual conference: EngageEd: A Conference on Effective Teaching, held each spring. [This award will only be made if enough papers are submitted to be competitive.] The Best Paper award winner will be jointly decided by the TLC and its Advisory Committee.
