ASIANetwork invites undergraduate students from member institutions to submit papers for the Marianna McJimsey Award, which recognizes undergraduate student research dealing with Asia.

The winner and one or two runners-up receive invitations and funding to present their work at the Annual Conference, and the winning paper is published in ASIANetwork Exchange: A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts.

The prize honors the outstanding service of Marianna McJimsey, the first Executive Director of ASIANetwork and the first editor of ASIANetwork Exchange.
