Established in honor and memory of the late Chicano/Latino Studies and History professor Jeff Garcilazo, the Jeff Garcilazo Fellowship/Scholarship Fund provides opportunities for students to be recognized for their work examining the historical and contemporary experiences of Chicano/Latino communities. The Jeff Garcilazo prize, made possible through support from the family of Professor Garcilazo and other donors to the Jeff Garcilazo Scholarship Fund, is awarded annually to the undergraduate student author(s) of the best research paper(s) in Chicano/Latino studies.

The submitted version of the paper does not have to be the version submitted to the class and can reflect additional work by the student after the end of the class.
