							                  ENGLISH DEPARTMENT SCHOLARSHIPS

To honor outstanding students in English and to remember excellent teachers of
English, the English Department at GCC has established a variety of scholarships
of $250 each.

All applicants must be enrolled in a GCC English course during the 2011-2012
academic year. Students wishing to apply for these awards must ask their English
teacher for a recommendation on an English Department Scholarship form and
must supply their teacher with two samples of their finest writing. Applications
are available from the department secretary in 05-151 or on the English
Department web page: www.gc.maricopa.edu/English/purpleshirts.htm.

All decisions on awards will be made by the GCC English Department Scholarship
Committee and will be final. Writing samples submitted will be returned to the
student via the student's English instructor. Scholarship winners will be notified by
mail. Winners will be required to successfully complete the spring semester in
order to receive their check.
