The Mary E. Jarrard Prize

One of the most important functions the Carolinas Communication Association (CCA) performs is providing a forum for student scholarship.  The Mary E. Jarrard Prize is awarded annually to the outstanding undergraduate and graduate student paper submitted to the convention. Donations are given by CCA members in order to be able to not only give prize money to the winners, but also to cover their convention membership and luncheon.
