We are pleased to be a participant in the Zondervan Publishing Company's Biblical Languages Award program. This award is to recognize students for outstanding achievement in the area of Biblical language studies. Zondervan gives two awards - one for Biblical Greek and one for Biblical Hebrew. The recipients are chosen based upon the recommendation of their professors.
The honorees receive an Award Certificate, a congratulatory letter from Zondervan, and an order form that allows them to select a product of their choice from Zondervan's catalog. The name of each recipient is added to a plaque provided by Zondervan. These plaques can be seen in the office of Graduate Studies in Bible, located in the Gardner Center (Room 102).
The Biblical Greek award began in 1999.
The Biblical Hebrew award began in 2011.
