The University of Michigan's Hopwood Program, which awards the
prestigious "Hopwood Prize" for creative writing, is named after him.
Notable Hopwood Prize winners include playwright
Arthur Miller, Frank O'Hara,
director-screenwriter
Lawrence Kasdan and transgressive short-story writer
Mary Gaitskill. Hopwood was a Michigan alumnus who left a bequest in his will
establishing the awards. The Hopwood Program at Michigan now
administers the Arthur Miller Award of the U-M Club of New York
Scholarship and the Kasdan Scholarship in Creative Writing, among other
award/scholarship programs.
