University of California-Los Angeles (out-of-state)

With preference to rising seniors studying classical, medieval and/or early modern literature and/or writing on at least one, though not necessarily all, of the following topics: disability studies, ecocriticism and animal rights, the Francesca A. Marx Scholarship was established in 2017 to provide scholarship support to full-time UCLA undergraduates. Preference also goes to students engaged in writing a thesis closely related to one or more of those topics, or to students having completed one. The scholarship honors the memory of Francesca Marx, a UCLA Ph.D. in English and the first Assistant Director of the UCLA Center for Scholarships and Scholar Enrichment (formerly the Scholarship Resource Center). Award: $1,000 -- not renewable; notification by May 23, 2025 Deadline: 01/24/2025
