FC23 Scholarship Applications Deadline This Friday

This Friday the 13th could be your lucky day.

That is the last day to apply for a scholarship to attend the Network’s 2023 Fall Conference, November 3 – 5 in Charlotte.

The Network offers both general scholarship aid and Mary Belle Campbell Scholarships for poets who teach K-12, but you must apply by this Friday, October 13, to be considered.

To apply for general scholarship aid, send your current CV and a statement of writing intent—describing your background and goals as a writer—to ed@ncwriters.org.

To apply for a Mary Belle Campbell Scholarship, send the following to ed@ncwriters.org:

  • A curriculum vita or resume
  • Proof of employment with a public school system or accredited school
  • A statement of writing intent describing both what the applicant hopes to accomplish as a poet and what the applicant hopes to learn at the Fall Conference
  • 10-12 poems of the applicant’s own creation (published or unpublished) that demonstrate their skill with and commitment to the genre.

Send questions about scholarships of any sort to ed@ncwriters.org.

Apply by Friday. Whatever your level of skill or experience, whatever your writing goals, we hope to see you at the Fall Conference.
