Financial Aid

While we believe that our faculty is our greatest asset, the department also boasts generous scholarship funds.

The department can support promising majors with income from combined bequests of well over a million dollars - a phenomenal resource which makes us financially competitive with the best-endowed private schools in the country. The Grace V. Nixon Scholarships provide especially generous support for students committed to the teaching of English.
