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 of need (250 words or one double-spaced page).
