Mona L. Martin Prize in Freshman Writing

The Mona L. Martin Prize in Freshman Writing is given annually on a competitive basis to a first-year English composition student whose work demonstrates excellence in expository prose. The prize is made possible through the generosity of distinguished UofSC Aiken graduate Mona L. Martin.

The competition is open to all full-time, currently enrolled students who have accrued less than 30 collegiate credit hours. Any piece of expository writing completed for academic credit in English 101 or English 102 may be submitted for consideration. Essays may be revised or expanded by the student before submission. There is no restriction as to the subject.
