English Student Scholarships

You may help to establish a scholarship in your own or in someone else's name or in the name of a class (Class of 1980 English Scholarship) or an idea (Creative Writing, Professional Writing). These last two areas are relatively new and vibrant and as of yet do not have a scholarship dedicated to either of these English Major emphases.

Or you may choose to support one of our longer existing scholarships listed below. Whatever your help, it will be much appreciated and well used.
