Scholarship Opportunity

The application process is completed and two recipients have been chosen for the 2024 scholarship.

Check back in November 2024 when the scholarship application will open once again. Thank you.

River Heron Writers’ Workshops is offering two scholarships to the AWA-Creative Writing workshop to two writers or poets who identify as underserved, that is, those who, without assistance, would otherwise not be able to access a writing workshop.

Writers and poets who identify as such are encouraged to complete an application and submit between November 15, 2023 and January 15, 2024. Recipient(s) will be notified by January 20, 2024.

If selected, this scholarship may be used for the Winter 2024 AWA-Creative Writing workshop. Should the session not be available, the selected recipient(s) may apply the workshop toward a future AWA-Creative Writing offering. The upcoming session begins February 1 and meets weekly on Thursdays, 3PM - 5PM (ET) on Zoom for six weeks.

Applicant must be available during the time the workshop is offered. Scholarship may not be applied to a different workshop.

After the completion of the workshop, the scholarship recipients will be required to write a brief statement on how the workshop impacted their writing or their writing path.

This year’s scholarships are donated in support of poetry and creative writing in memory of Mark Wisse.
