Awards and ScholarshipsThe English Department seeks to encourage remarkable achievements throughout the year, but officially recognizes its outstanding students at the end of Spring semester during the Awards Ceremony. Here are application forms and the awards granted during the past few years, several of which are not given every year; some include monetary awards, while others do not.
In addition to these opportunities, the department's Graduate Student Advisory Board and the university's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs offers travel and research grants. All scholarships and awards are given to deserving and promising students at the discretion of the department, and will be awarded without regard to race, sex, religion, color, national origin, physical or mental handicap, age, or status as a Vietnam era veteran. Note: All scholarship application materials should be turned in to the Undergraduate Studies office in Robert Bell 295. Outstanding Graduating SeniorEach year the English Department recognizes one graduating senior whose academic achievements have been exemplary.
