The purpose of the Shirley Palmer Collier Scholarship and Development Endowment Fund in English Language Writing is to provide financial assistance to excellent students in the field of English language writing, and to encourage them to pursue advanced study in the field of English in the Department of English and American Studies. Students are eligible if they are in the advanced stages of their BA studies or in the graduate program.

The Fund was established in 2002 by donations from the estate of Shirley Palmer Collier and from her brother, Harold "Tiger" Palmer.

Shirley Palmer Collier had a successful career as a literary agent in Los Angeles, where she played an important role in the publishing and movie industry. She was devoted to English writing, and she had a deep conviction that exposure to great literature made readers more ethical human beings. With these scholarships, she brought together her love of Israel and her love of English literature.
