About This Opportunity

The English Faculty Award is a prize that honors the best essay written for an English course by an undergraduate English major during the current academic year. The award recognizes exceptional writing on any subject, with the exception of literature written between the years 1558 and 1667. Eligible essays must originate from a course taken in the English Department from the current or prior two semesters. Essays from College Writing courses (Englwrit 111 or 112) do not qualify for this prize as they are not English Department courses. The award amount varies and is selected based on the quality of the submitted essay.
