Undergraduate
Endowed Presidential Scholarships
The Department of English awards several Endowed Presidential Scholarships each academic year. Qualifying students will be notified by the department during the spring semester.
The University of Texas Development Board established the Endowed Presidential Scholarship program in 1973 to provide merit-based scholarship support to outstanding UT Austin students. Nine scholarships were awarded the first year, and since then the program has grown exponentially, thanks to the generosity of the University's alumni and friends. Endowed Presidential Fellowships were added to the program in 1997 to recognize and support exceptional graduate students. Please use the English Department Scholarship Form to apply for this scholarship.
