The Bible Division invites graduating M.Div. and M.A. students to submit papers for the Milton Prize for Outstanding Work in Old Testament and the Bruce Prize for Excellence in New Testament. These prizes are awarded at commencement to the students submitting the best papers in the area of Old Testament and New Testament studies. The prizes include monetary awards. Papers written by graduating M.Div. or M.A. students—both December 2023 and May 2024 graduates—during their seminary careers are eligible. These may be course papers, independent study projects, or papers written for the occasion of these awards. Papers should not exceed 6,000 words in length. Submissions are due to Kathryn Schifferdecker by Wednesday, May 1. See the Milton Prize and the Bruce Prize webpages for more information, including the criteria our Bible professors use to judge the papers. Talk with your Bible professors or Kathryn Schifferdecker for more information.
