Scholarships and Tuition Awards for Master's Students

For Master’s Students:

 

Fellowships:

Incoming students are eligible to apply for fellowships in the offices of the journal Western American Literature or for the Russell fellowship. Students are considered for these fellowships when their applications are first reviewed, and these awards are made in the Spring semester. These awards are not available after the January 15 deadline for graduate applications. Some of these fellowships come with tuition waivers.

Scholarships and Tuition Awards:

Each Spring semester, currently enrolled students are considered for a limited number of private donor-funded scholarships or tuition waiver awards that come from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. These scholarships and tuition waivers are awarded for the following fall and/or spring semesters. A call for applications will come out early in the semester from the DGS (will also be posted on the blog). Our policy is to reward students who have proven themselves since matriculation into one of our programs, so students in the English Department’s programs are eligible if they will have completed at least 12 credits of graduate work towards their current degrees by the end of Spring semester and if they are continuing their studies at USU in the next Fall and/or Spring semester. Students applying for scholarships and tuition waivers will be asked to submit a letter of application, a CV (curriculum vitae), and supporting materials.
