Percy Buchanan Award for Undergraduate of Asian Studies
The Percy Buchanan Award was created by Professor Sidney Brown, emeritus professor of Japanese History. The award is named in honor of Percy Buchanan, another former OU professor of Asian Studies who inspired many students during his teaching career. Many former students of Professors Buchanan and Brown have contributed to the endowment that makes this award possible. We would like to express a heartfelt thanks to all those generous donors.
The Percy Buchanan Scholarship is awarded annually to the most deserving student in the School of International and Area Studies, specializing in Asian Studies. Individuals may be nominated by the faculty in the department. The amount of the award is $1000 for 2006.
