WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
ENGLISH DEPARTMENT/WRITING PROGRAMS
PRIZES & FELLOWSHIPS
Most of these prizes are awarded on the basis of writing samples.
Two substantially endowed prizes are different and deserve your special
attention.
Olin Fellowships support summer
projects, often but not always related to a senior thesis. They offer
a rare opportunity and can be used for travel, study, or independent
research. The department welcomes well-developed proposals.
The Winchester Fellowships are for graduate study in literature. Please keep them in mind even if you don't plan to go on to graduate
school immediately. Seniors AND Alumni are eligible.
APPLICATIONS
Entries must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of the page only.
You may submit no more than two entries (a total of 30 pages together) for
each prize.
Applicants for Sonnenblick, Olin, and
Winchester awards should
read the detailed instructions.
Submit your entry to Joy Mlozanowski, at the English
Department office, Downey House, Room 204, 294 High Street. On a separate sheet, please
indicate which prize you are applying for, the title of your submission,
