Lambertus Verberg Prize for Excellence in Kuyperian Scholarship

Dordt University is pleased to announce the Lambertus Verburg Prize for Excellence in Kuyperian Scholarship, one of the largest scholarships that has been made available to Dordt students. The first-place recipient will receive a $15,000 one-year scholarship, and the second-place recipient will receive a $10,000 one-year scholarship. To apply for the scholarship, students who are in their sophomore through senior year must submit a 3,500-word scholarly essay that engages with theologian Abraham Kuyper as a primary source and identifies a contemporary issue.

The Co-Directors of the Kuyper Honors Program are available to help students with formulating ideas and reviewing drafts of their essays. This is available to anyone, regardless of whether you are in KHP. You can schedule a time to meet with us via this link. The library has also created a libguide for this competition available here.

The Lambertus Verberg Prize for Excellence in Kuyperian Scholarship is funded by an estate gift from Rimmer and Ruth de Vries, in memory of Rimmer’s great-grandfather, who settled in Sioux Center, Iowa, in the 1890s.
