Dunlap Prize

The Dunlap Prize was established by Katherine Wood Dunlap in memory of her husband, Brigadier General Robert H. Dunlap, USMC. It is awarded annually to a Bowdoin student based on two criteria:

1) the level of commitment to service the student has demonstrated while at Bowdoin; and

2) the strength of the essay the student submits on the subject of service.

The Dunlap prize is open to all seniors. If you would like to be considered for this prize, which carries a $1,150 monetary award, apply by noon on Monday, April 4.
