Helena Percas de Ponseti Senior Award

In the spring of 2000 former Grinnell Spanish professor Helena Percas de Ponseti generously established an endowment that permits the Department of Spanish to recognize the superior achievement of a graduating major through an award of $2000.

The Department will select a senior Spanish major taking into account the following criteria:

  • At least a 3.5 GPA in the Spanish major
  • At least an overall 3.0 GPA
  • Quality of the academic work in the major
  • Evidence of a commitment to the study of Hispanic culture (the student's activities outside the classroom, for example, their involvement in supporting activities [lectures, visits by Hispanic authors, etc.] sponsored by the Department, Spanish Lab, the Spanish SEPC, recruitment of faculty).
