Isaacs Scholarship Program Application

Eligibility:

• You must be a freshman or sophomore at City College with a 3.3 GPA and a 3.5 GPA in English classes.

• If you are a Macaulay Honors College student or the recipient of an Excelsior Scholarship, you can participate in the Program if chosen, but you cannot be awarded the stipend.

• You cannot be pursuing a second degree.

If accepted, applicants undertake to:

• Concentrate in English literature

• Complete collateral programs of study in a classical and a modern language. Students are required to study a Classical language up to the intermediate level; this usually consists of four semesters of study. The study of a Classical language fulfills the colllege-wide foreign language requirement. The study of a modern foreign language is highly recommended but not required.

• Become a member of the English Department Honors Program, which requires
that you take two 490-level seminars and complete an Honors Thesis in your last
year of study. You will be automatically enrolled in English Honors upon acceptance
into the Isaacs Scholarship.
