The Hammond Prize is awarded by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) for the best Harvard undergraduate senior honors thesis related to Spanish-speaking Latin America.  It was established in 1992 by a gift from James R. Hammond '57.  Each department may nominate one candidate, and a faculty committee selects the prize recipient.  The winner is determined in late May, and announced at the DRCLAS Certificate Ceremony held on the Wednesday before Commencement.  This prize carries a monetary award of $500. 

***Please submit the student’s name and email address, department, thesis advisor(s), as well as 3 hard copies of the nominated thesis.
