DEBORAH TALL SCHOLARSHIP FOR CREATIVE WRITING

The Deborah Tall scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate refined writing skills based on 10-15 pages of original creative writing in any combination of fiction, poetry or creative non-fiction (this can be multiple pieces of writing). Each applicant will also need to submit a personal statement between 200-500 words that talk about the applicant as a writer. The HWS writing and rhetoric faculty will evaluate each written portfolio and writing scholarships will be awarded based on their recommendations. Awards range from $3,000 to $20,000. If a student receives any other merit designation than the arts scholarship award will be $3,000.
