The following rules apply:
- Competition for the scholarships is open to English graduate students currently enrolled at OSU.
- The name of the contestant should not appear in the essay or on the title page.
- Each entry must include the attached application form indicating the name of the essay, the applicant's name, address, phone number and CWID. This is the only place where the name of the applicant should appear.
- Students should submit no more than one essay for each scholarship, though they may submit for multiple scholarships. Students who choose to submit essays for multiple scholarships must submit different entries.
