Returning graduate students are also eligible for the Brian Ten Eyck Davis Award, Ethel Hinds Burch Awards, Glenn Bickle Award, Joseph R. Roach Dissertation Research Award and the Marilyn Hunt Scharine Costume Design Award. These awards are presented by nomination and vote of the faculty & staff of the Department. No application is necessary.

All scholarships and awards will be presented at the annual student recognition ceremony held at the end of the spring semester.
