English Department/ Writing Programs Prizes

The English Department and Writing Programs are currently accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year. The writing awards are awarded for fiction, nonfiction, poetry, fellowships for summer projects and graduate study. Applications are due Wednesday March 25th by 4 PM to the English Department Office 204.

The English Department and Writing Programs encourage students to submit materials for the writing awards. In particular, we’d like to encourage freshmen to apply for the Cole Prize and juniors to apply for the Annie Sonnenblick Writing Award.
If you’re a senior who plans to attend graduate school in literature in future years, do keep the Winchester fellowships in mind.
