The Virginia Burke Award is given to students who demonstrate excellence in English 102 – College Writing and Research. Only degree-seeking bachelor’s level students at the Milwaukee main campus are eligible for this award. Associate degree students who take CGS ENG 102 are not eligible, and flex students are also not eligible. Applications are typically accepted late in Spring semester for students who took Eng 102 during the previous year. For example, applications are accepted in April/May 2024 for students who took English 102 in Spring 2023, Summer 2023 or Fall 2023. All applications are done through the UWM Panther Scholarship Portal and there will be a live “apply” button when the application period is open.
