English Scholarship for Access and Opportunity

Help raise $5000 for English Majors with a matching gift to our scholarship endowment!

Every dollar donated through #GiveCentral to the English scholarship for Access & Opportunity will be matched up to $5000 with a donor gift to our English department scholarship endowment.

The English scholarship for Access & Opportunity supports students like Karla Maravilla, a graduate of Granger High School and double major in English Language & Literature and Professional & Creative Writing at CWU. Karla was a research fellow in the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement program and won an outstanding undergraduate presentation award at SOURCE. She is now a PhD student of English at the University of Notre Dame, researching Latinx experiences at the intersection of literature, health, education, and sustainability. Karla is also a poet, whose work explores illness, myth, and sacrifice in the experiences of migrant farmworkers across the United States, with poems published in The Acentos Review, Palette Poetry, and Poetry Northwest and a poetry manuscript “La Casa Negra” that was a national semifinalist for the 2022 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize.

Join us in raising $5,000 to fund this scholarship and endowment to assist students like Karla today and into the future!
