Dear Writers

Community of Voices is happy to announce a special opportunity for talented writers who would like to go to the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, June 23-30, 2006, but would be financially strained to do so. A local foundation will be offering a certain number of scholarships to writers who are willing to submit a writing sample and the financial information listed below.

 

To Apply for this Scholarship:

1. Send a send a sample of your work between 500 and 1000 words.

2. You may send fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essay, humor, poetry or experimental.

3. This writing can be about anything. The idea is to send something that illustrates your writing ability.

4. There is no entry fee.

5. Send this to:
    Grace Rachow

This information will be considered private and will only be seen by the trustee of the endowment fund. The purpose of the financial information is to satisfy the requirements of this funding source. Please give honest figures. You are on the honor system. You need not be completely impoverished to receive a scholarship. The requirement is that it would be a clear financial burden for you to paythe $795 tuition.

7. Recipients will be selected both on financial need and writing ability. Preference will be given to first time scholarship recipients, but previous recipients are still eligible.
