| Scholarship Information | |
| There are many scholarships available for USM English Majors. They fall into three categories: | |
| I. USM Scholarships | |
| These are open to all USM students who fulfill the individual award criteria. There is a general form you can submit that will put you in a pool of all other eligible students. The deadline for most university-wide scholarships is on or about 27 February 2004. Applications are available in Career Services, Financial Aid, Campus Centers, Libraries and Deans' Offices. | |
| II. CAS Scholarships | |

| III. | Department of English Scholarships |
|
The Department of English administers three scholarships that are only available to English majors: The C. Elizabeth Sawyer Scholarship, the Barbara C. Jandebeur Memorial Scholarship, and the Richard W. Carbonneau, Jr., Scholarship. Of these, only the Carbonneau Scholarship, for the Stonecoast Writers Conference, requires your application. The Sawyer and Jandebeur Scholarships are awarded through a process of faculty review. Majors are notified by the Department if they are eligible, and they may be asked to submit further applications materials. For more information on the USM and CAS scholarships and awards, visit the Financial Aid website at http://www.usm.maine.edu/fin/under00.htm. Application forms for most USM/CAS scholarships and awards will be available in the Department of English office, 311 Luther Bonney.
