Happy Friday of Week 1! This is your reminder that 11:59PM tonight is the last day to add classes to your Winter Quarter schedule.

For all students in the MAE/MALP, MAWP, and MFA programs: Partial Tuition Scholarships are available for this Winter Quarter! For full details, eligibility info, and the application form, please see the message below from Miles Harvey, Department Chair:

The M.A. in English, M.A. in Literature and Publishing, M.A. in Writing and Publishing, and M.F.A. in Writing and Publishing programs are offering Partial Tuition Scholarships (PTS) to recognize the outstanding academic achievement of students in the English department’s three graduate programs. Partial Tuition Scholarships provide a partial reimbursement for tuition paid for 2025 Winter graduate courses in English taken toward the MAE, MALP, MAWP, and MFA degrees.

You are eligible to apply for a PTS award if:

• You have already completed at least two English graduate courses toward your MAE/MALP, MAWP, or MFA degree
• You are enrolled in one or more English graduate classes for the current Autumn term.
• You have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.7 or higher
• You are paying your own tuition and fees (without financial assistance from any grant or scholarship agency or employee reimbursement program, including a Double Demon Award—student loans are okay.)

Please note that only graduate classes offered through the English department (ENG courses) are eligible for PTS funding. Courses offered through other departments and courses over and above those needed for MAE/MALP/MAWP/MFA degree completion are not covered by these awards. If you drop a course after receiving a PTS Award for it, you will be required to pay back the amount of the award.

To apply, open the application attachment, save it as a Word document, complete the form, and then send it as an attachment in an e-mail to Laurance Matthews, Department Assistant for English, at lmatthe3@depaul.edu. The deadline for applying for PTS awards for the 2025 Winter Quarter is Tuesday January 21, 2025. All requests for PTS awards must be made electronically, and they must be sent via email.
