Emily Dickinson Undergraduate Essay Prize

The Emily Dickinson International Society sponsors a prize for undergraduate research on Emily Dickinson. The objective is to recognize and encourage outstanding scholarship among undergraduate students. Students whose papers were written for an undergraduate course are eligible to submit their work. Papers are required to be 15 pages maximum along with Works Cited. All contestants will have a panel of experts judge and give comments on their work. The winning student will receive a check for $100 and be entitled to list this national award on their resumés. In addition, the winning essay will be posted on the EDIS website in September.

Please send your papers with a cover page that contains email and mailing address to Dr. Elizabeth Petrino (epetrino@fairfield.edu). The deadline for papers to be submitted is June 30, 2018.
