    This endowment provides financial support to English majors who are either starting their studies or continuing their education at the university.

However, if the selection committee faces a tie between two equally qualified candidates, the student demonstrating the greater financial need will receive the award.

    • Usable at: 4-year college, public college

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
