Scholarships
SLS offers a limited number
of scholarships to promising writers on the basis of need:
The
Greta Wrolstad Scholarship for Young Poets - A full tuition
waiver for a female poet under the age of thirty to attend SLS
Russia in memory of former SLS participant Greta Wrolstad.
Tuition Scholarships - Tuition Scholarships worth $1,000 each
are awarded to ten participants each year.
Select Scholarships - SLS also offers Select Scholarships as a
percentage of tuition to promising contest entrants who are not
among the annual winners. Go to the Contests
page for details on entering the contest.
To apply for the Greta Wrolstad Scholarship submit a manuscript
of no more than three poems or for Tuition Scholarships submit
a manuscript of no more than three poems or 10 pages of prose
(fiction or non). All scholarship applications require a statement

contests in early April 2007. There is no application fee for
