Barton Scholarship at Eastern Michigan University 2027

The English department at Eastern Michigan University offers the Barton Scholarship to graduate students whose backgrounds, educational paths and career goals set them apart. It is a one-time competitive award, and past recipients can’t receive it again. You can receive it even if your tuition and fees are covered by another source, such as a graduate assistantship or fellowship. EMU also lists a closely related “Barton Endowed Scholarship” for graduates of its undergraduate programs, so students should check which award matches their case.

1. A one-time award of up to US$4,000.
2. It can be received together with a graduate assistantship or fellowship.
3. EMU charges the same in-state tuition to all undergraduates under its Global Tuition Rate, which helps international students at that level.

1. You must have earned your bachelor’s degree from Eastern Michigan University.
2. You need a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5.
3. You must be admitted to a graduate program, and the award comes through the English department.
4. You must enroll in and complete 16 credit hours for both the fall and winter semesters.
5. You must maintain a 3.5 GPA while receiving the scholarship.
6. Nationality is listed as “any,” but the EMU-degree requirement means students from abroad are eligible only if they completed their bachelor’s at EMU.
7. Past recipients are not eligible for future awards.
