Scholarships

Several scholarships are available to students majoring in Languages, Literature, and Philosophy, which are awarded each year to outstanding students in English, Languages, and Creative Writing. These are selected by the faculty of the department and are funded through the MUW Foundation by the generous gifts of alumni and friends of MUW. They include:

The Frances Anne Smith King Babbit Scholarship

The Louise Eskrigge Crump Scholarship

The Lucile Watkins Ellison Scholarship

The H. T. English Scholarship

The Harriet Rice Harned Scholarship

The Frances Ledyard Ivy Scholarship

The Elise H. Moore English Award

The Jeraldine Day Pruden Scholarship

The Marie Charlotte Stark Scholarship

The Martha Pope Trotter Scholarship

At present there is no application process for the majority of these awards. However, for our newest scholarship in Creative Writing, available to incoming freshmen, transfer students, and current students, there is an application process that includes the submission of a writing sample (see the link below).
