Every year the English Department offers a variety of prizes and awards for both undergraduate and graduate students.  The prizes and awards program provides a wonderful opportunity for students to have their work recognized in the fields of literary analysis and criticism; creative fiction, non-fiction, and poetry; personal essay; and drama.  Winners are celebrated on our website, within the department, and at an Annual English Majors Party every spring.  In addition to recognition, many winners receive financial awards that contribute to continued academic study and travel abroad.

The deadline for applications for the English Department 2012 Prizes and Awards has passed.  Stay tuned for details about the 2013 Prizes and Awards, with an expected application deadline of February 25, 2013.
