Albert L. Walker Award

The Albert L. Walker Excellence in English Award is given annually to undergraduate and graduate students with demonstrated ability in the study of literature. In honor of Professor Walker, former chair of the Department of English, three awards of $300 each will be awarded, one to an undergraduate English major, one to an undergraduate majoring in a subject other than English, and one to a graduate student (any major) who has taken at least one graduate course in literature at ISU. To apply, provide an essay (double spaced and typewritten) of no more than 500 words explaining the way that a text of your choosing illustrates what you have found to be interesting or satisfying about your study of literature. If you are an undergraduate, provide a copy of your most recent degree audit. The selection of a recipient, made by the members of the Walker Award Committee, will be based upon the clarity and effectiveness of the submitted essay and upon academic achievement and performance in the study of literature.
