Summer Literary Seminars

SLS offers a limited number of scholarships to promising writers on the basis of need:

The Greta Wrolstad Scholarship for Young Poets - A full program fee waiver for a female poet under the age of thirty to attend SLS Russia in memory of former SLS participant Greta Wrolstad. To apply, submit a manuscript of no more than three poems.

Select Scholarships - SLS also offers Select Scholarships valued towards a percentage of program fees to promising contest entrants who are not among the annual winners.

To Apply

In applying for these scholarships, please include a statement of need of 250 words (or one double-spaced page). On a cover sheet, include all pertinent contact information such as address, phone number and email. If you are applying for the Greta Wrolstad fellowship, please indicate birth date as well.

The postmark deadline for scholarship applications is February 28, 2010. Scholarship recipients will be notified concurrently with the announcement of winners in our annual fiction and poetry contests in early April 2010. There is no application fee for the Greta Wrolstad Scholarship or Program Fee Scholarships; to be considered for Select Scholarships, please enter the annual SLS fiction and poetry contest.
