English Literature Graduate Award

The Department of English announces an award competition for PhD students who have advanced to the dissertation-writing stage (“D” status).

The English Literature Graduate Award is awarded to students who meet the following criteria:

• Current Graduate Students in the English Department who have advanced to the dissertation-writing stage (“D” status).
• Complete the CU Boulder General Scholarship Application and the A&S Scholarship Application.
• Complete this application and the research proposal that describes the dissertation project by the deadline.
• Submit a budget if intended to use funds to travel to an archive.

This award gives $7,500 each to two PhD students to support summer writing time. Awards will be made in the middle of July. Preference will be given to those candidates entering into their 6th year of study. This money can be used at the candidate’s discretion—to fund travel to essential archives, to free time from summer employment, and/or to pay for child care. To be considered, please submit a 500 word research proposal that describes the dissertation project, its state of completion, and a timeline for the work you propose to be accomplished over the summer. If the award is to fund travel to an archive, please attach a budget for the trip. You will be required to submit a report of the work done over the summer by the end of the following fall term to gsengl@colorado.edu.
