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 2021 Spring 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 spring 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 Mr. Marc Schell, Assistant Director of Graduate Programs in English, at mschell2@depaul.edu

The deadline for applying for PTS awards for the 2021 Spring Quarter is Sunday, April 25, 2021. All requests for PTS awards must be made electronically, and they must be sent via email. Copies of this memo and of the application can be found on the MAE/MALP and MAWP/MFA D2L sites under “Content.” They will also be posted in Ex Libris.

You will be notified of an award decision within two weeks after the deadline.
