Graduate Scholarships

The Professional Writing Program is proud to offer several scholarships funded by a generous endowment from William H. and Ruth E. Crouse. These awards are designed to support students of exceptional ability and promise as they gain experience in professional writing. 

We are currently reviewing our approach to graduate Crouse awards and will share more information in December 2024. We expect an application deadline no earlier than January 17, 2025.
