Sponsor Scholarships

Through the generous support of sponsors, we are able to offer a number of half and full scholarships to the weeklong and weekend sessions. Scholarships will be granted primarily on a “need” basis to individuals with demonstrated writing skills. These are limited and competitive. Decisions will be made on April 10, 2012. Only manuscripts in hand at St. Eugene before 5PM April 9, 2012 will be considered.  You can drop it off at the front desk of St. Eugene anytime – 24/7.

If scholarship funds become available after April 10, they will be awarded on a rolling basis as qualified applications are received.
