Foundation Scholarships

See, Virgiline & Joseph Creative Writing Award

Virgiline and Joseph See, depression children who grew into working class lives and traditional roles, raised eight children in a household where sisterhood was powerful simply because their six girls outnumbered the boys. The Virgiline and Joseph See Award is offered for an outstanding poetry submission by a male or female student who knows the risk it takes to call yourself a poet. Preference is given to first-generation, low income students. The award can be to an undergraduate or graduate student whose submissions were written for a course or on their own.

Students submit paper to the Women’s Studies Department for consideration. Contact the Women’s Studies Department for further information.

Early spring semester, exact date varies
