What is the Falvey Scholar Award?
The Falvey Scholar award is an annual program established to recognize outstanding undergraduate research. It is a collaborative initiative of the Library and the Center for Research and Fellowships.
The winners of the Falvey Scholar award are selected from a pool of candidates that will be generated by applications submitted by a senior Villanova University student or a group of students working on a senior project together with the recommendation of the advisor to the senior thesis or capstone project completed for academic credit.
Winners are recognized at a ceremony that will include presentations by the award recipients on the content and findings of the research involved in the writing of the thesis or creation of the project report. Presentations highlight the use of Library resources.
Digital copies of the winning papers are maintained in the Digital Library.
