English Department Scholarships and Assistantships
Need-Based Scholarships: To be considered for the need-based scholarships, applicants to the English
Department's graduate programs must submit a FAFSA by February 1.
Graduate Assistantships: Assistantship positions are available in the Composition Program and
Writing Center, the Book Art Program, undergraduate creative writing and literature classrooms, the Place for Writers,
and 580 Split, our graduate student-edited literary magazine. Many of these programs will have open positions for
students entering the program in fall 2012. Assistantships are awarded in addition to any need-based scholarships
you might receive, and carry an award of $6,000 for the year, and require 12 hours/week of work during the semester.
All applicants to the graduate programs at Mills College are invited to submit applications for as many graduate English
assistantship positions as they are interested in and qualified for, although students can only be awarded one position
in a given academic year. Assistantship applications are accepted online, and you can find full instructions and
descriptions here: mills.slideroom.com (For "Program", select English Department Graduate Assistantships.)
Applications for fall 2012 assistantship positions are due by December 15.
