W.B. PILLSBURY PRIZE COMPETITION

In recognition of the contributions of Professor W. B. Pillsbury to the field of psychology and The University of Michigan, friends, former students and colleagues of Professor Pillsbury established the Walter Bowers Pillsbury Testimonial Fund. An annual prize of approximately $500 is awarded to an undergraduate student in recognition of outstanding research performance in the field of experimental psychology. Experimental psychology is interpreted broadly in this context, but refers here to method and implies no restriction on content. To be considered, the research must involve observations under controlled conditions. Eligibility for the prize is limited to students of senior standing who are concentrators in Psychology or Brain, Behavior, & Cognitive Science. All applications will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
