Cornwell

The Wirt and Mary Cornwell Prize is awarded, typically on an annual basis, to a graduate student who shall have demonstrated outstanding "intellectual curiosity" and exceptional "promise of original study and creative work" in their field of study, according to the terms of the bequest from the Cornwells. The Prize is actually a fellowship, available to candidates and pre-candidates to cover tuition and stipend. Students living in the Ann Arbor area must be enrolled for as many credits as would be needed for GSIs to earn a tuition waiver. Students out of residence must be pursuing philosophy full-time as visitors at another university while enjoying this prize. The Department automatically considers all graduate students for the Cornwell Prize.
