Undergraduate
Scholarships and Awards
The English department offers an atypically large number of
competitive scholarships and prizes recognizing superior academic
achievement. These awards range from $50 to $3,000, and give ambitious
and bright students not only financial support, but also intellectual
promotion of a kind that will increase their potential for superior
placement in career fields and graduate institutions of their choice.
For writing awards, papers are nominated by faculty mentors. The
department also awards outstanding academic performance and excellent
student teaching for English Adolescence Education majors. Each Spring
semester, an annual awards ceremony for all award-winning students and
their parents is held during the last week of classes.
