The Paula Blank Student Opportunity Fund in English, established in memory of Professor Paula Blank, who was on the English faculty at William & Mary from 1992-2016, provides professional development support for English majors studying early modern literature, either through coursework or an independent project. For example, the fund could pay for attendance at conferences and workshops, travel for research, participation in internships, or attendance at, or production of, performances of early modern drama. You may apply for money from the Paula Blank Fund at any time. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and grants are made as funds allow.
