Harry and Sue Rusche Scholarship Fund

Harry Rusche joined the English Department in 1962, where he taught and mentored students in early modern literature and poetry. The many alumni who remain in touch with Dr. Rusche testify to their memorable relationships with him and his wife, both in and out of the classroom.

The Harry and Sue Rusche Scholarship Fund was created in 2003 with a generous gift from one of Dr. Rusche's former students.  In the subsequent years, the Rusches, grateful alumni, and numerous friends have contributed to the endowment; since 2010, the fund has been administered by the English Department and awarded to an undergraduate of outstanding achievement.

The English Department invites rising senior English majors to apply for the Harry and Sue Rusche Scholarship award. Full details and applicatin instructions will be available soon.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Professor Sheila Cavanagh at engstc@emory.edu for more information.
