Department of English Award

Various awards in recognition of academic achievement are given to English majors and graduate students in English. Eligible undergradutes will be enrolled full-time, have a minimum 3.25 GPA, have standing as a sophomore, junior or senior, and working on their first degree. Second degree students who already hold a bachelor’s degree are not eligible.

Students who have an up-to-date Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application will be considered, typically in spring each year between February and April. No additional or separate application is required; students should thoroughly fill out the Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application. Awards given in spring are for the following school year so students graduating that same spring or summer are not eligible. E.G. applications reviewed in Spring 2025 are for Fall 2025; students graduating in May or August 2025 are not eligible.
