Department of English Undergraduate Awards and Scholarships
We are excited to announce that we are extending our scholarship awards to all the
undergraduate class levels!
The previous requirement for completing English 100, 200, and 300 along with two major
English classes to qualify for some of the departmental scholarships has been eliminated.
We look forward to awarding all levels of undergraduate English majors in the Spring
2025 semester.
