The English Department is now accepting submissions to The Dorothy Horowitz Scholarship, the English Department’s only need-based scholarship. Awards will be made of up to $1000 each. There are no restrictions on the intended use of funds. Eligibility: Open to all undergraduate and graduate students in English. Applicants must be in good academic standing. Priority will be given to students who are experiencing hardship. To Apply: Submit one copy of a recent transcript and one copy of a 300-word personal essay that outlines the circumstances of financial need and describes how you intend to use the prize. The Department will consider applications to the prize between October 13th - December 1st. Depending on the availability of funds the department will open another application window in the Spring semester. Please also note: as much as we would like it to be, the Horowitz Prize is not an emergency fund. Even after its award it may take a few months to be distributed. As we hope you know, there are other emergency resources that the College offers, which are listed here: https://hunter.cuny.edu/students/health-wellness/emergency-support-resources/ If you have any questions, please reach out to the English Department at english@hunter.cuny.edu.
