Outstanding Sophomore Award: English

This award serves to to identify promising English majors, with the aim of helping direct them towards prestigious external scholarships and grants later (with Purdue's National & International Scholarships Office).

Deadline: February 15

Amount: $500

Criteria for Eligibility:

• Applicants must be majors in Creative Writing, English Literature, Global Context, or Professional Writing.
• 3.85 GPA or higher, along with clear intellectual interests beyond the classroom.
• On-campus involvement. A title (e.g. President) or organization (e.g. Student Government) matters less than outcomes. What did you *do* or accomplish in these leadership roles?
• Service to others! Outstanding sophomores show a commitment to improving the lives of others. Again, outcomes matter more than specific organizational affiliations
