The Dr. Carol Bishop Scholarship
Dr. Carol Bishop was a Professor of English at Indiana University Southeast for many years. Before she died in the Spring of 1996, several of her colleagues and friends approached her about the idea of a scholarship for English majors to be given in her name. More than anything else in her life, Dr. Bishop loved to teach literature. She approved of this scholarship and specified the conditions under which it should be awarded. A very generous donation from Carol Bishop's family, supplemented by other donations from previous students, her friends, and her colleagues, makes this scholarship of $1,000 possible.
Who may apply?
- Any undergraduate with a literature major in English who has completed at least two courses in literature, one of which must be upper level (300 level or above).
- A student may be either part-time or full-time, but part-time students must take at least three hours (six preferred) during each of the semesters for which the scholarship is awarded.
- The student should be interested in and enthusiastic about literature.
- The preferred minimum GPA is 3.0 overall and 3.5 in literature courses.
