ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships will be given on a rolling basis. Apply early. Scholarships cover the cost of registration only. While funds are not available to help with transportation or housing, low-cost housing options are posted on the Where To Stay page of our website.
Scholarships will be given based on economic need. Split This Rock is committed to assembling a diverse group of participants at our poetry festivals.
