The UC Center Sacramento's annual Emerging Scholars Award for Excellence in Research and Public Policy recognizes excellence in graduate student research with a direct impact on public policy. The recipients of the Emerging Scholars Award will receive a $500 prize and will deliver an invited policy lecture at the UC Center. The invited policy lecture is a great way for graduate students interested in meeting people from the policy community to develop contacts and possible job opportunities. ​Between 80-100 people attend each talk, and the audience is composed of legislators, staffers, heads of agencies, consultants, faculty, graduate students, and other researchers.

The deadline to apply for the award is March 22, 2018. Download the flyer here. For more information about the award, please visit uccs.ucdavis.edu/public-policy/emerging-scholars.
