Each conference a select writer is awarded a SCHOLARSHIP in Creative Non-Fiction/Memoir or Fiction. This competitive scholarship includes a full conference tuition waiver, and housing is offered at a steep discount for the duration of the conference (You pay $300 total for the week). Scholars will have full access to all conference activities and events, will be included in a workshop with faculty, and will have a group scholar reading with reception. Scholars will be responsible for their own travel and food costs.
In return, the scholars will be responsible for assisting the fellows, and will participate in the “Writers in the Classroom” portion of the conference, where they will spend a couple hours in the classroom of locals schools (one day only--Seacoast Collegiate High School, 9th – 12th grade) helping with basic aspects of creative writing.
Scholars are also required to perform some light administration duties, reception prep and break down and generally assist the conference directors. These duties are light and casual.
