Each academic year, the Department administers three different undergraduate awards. The Ralph W. Church Undergraduate Fellowship is awarded for outstanding scholarship in philosophy. To be eligible for a Church Fellowship, a student must be a philosophy major who has completed a minimum of 16 upper-division units in philosophy at UCSB. The Burleigh Taylor Wilkins Award for Excellence in Philosophy recognizes excellence in the study of moral, political, and/or legal philosophy. Preference for the Wilkins Award is given to juniors and seniors. The Harry Girvetz Memorial Prize goes to an outstanding graduating senior.
