Roy Arthur Swanson Comparative Literature Merit Scholarship

The Roy Arthur Swanson Merit Scholarship in Comparative Literature is awarded to a UWM full-time student with a declared Comparative Literature major or minor and a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher in Comparative Literature courses.

Applications are accepted yearly, typically in January/February. Applicants will need to provide a short essay on their interests in comparative literature and a copy of their UWM transcript. 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 2024 are for Fall 2024; students graduating in May or August 2024 are not eligible.
