1. Linda Munk Scholarship for incoming MA Candidates

Sorry to keep harping on this but would you please bring the Professor Linda Munk Graduate Futures Scholarship to the attention of your students. The Scholarship will be awarded based on exceptional academic merit to one full-time graduate student, preferably a Masters (MA) student, in the University of Toronto's Department of English. The Scholarship is open to all areas of interest in English Literature, but where all other indicators of excellence are equal, priority will be given to a candidate whose stated area of interest is American literature. The first award of the Scholarship will be this year for the academic year 2021-22. No special application is required to be considered for this award - all applications to the MA program will automatically be considered.

• The annual value of the Scholarship is $20,000
• It may be held in combination with external awards
• MA applications open on October 1, 2020 and close on December 10, 2020

Students interested in applying to the MA who have any questions about this award or the application process should contact Marguerite Perry at marguerite.perry@utoronto.ca.
