Scholarships in Creative Writing
Barry Wright Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in the Writing of Poetry
The Barry Wright Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually (when funding is available) by the Department of English at Ball State University in recognition of artistic excellence in the writing of poetry by an undergraduate at Ball State. Because the criterion for award is artistic excellence, no scholarship will be awarded in any year in which the panel determines that no entry exhibits sufficiently high artistic quality to merit an award. Guidelines in RB 297.
Matt Jones Creative Writing Scholarship
The Matt Jones Creative Writing Scholarship is awarded annually (when funding is available) by the Department of English to a Ball State University student majoring in English/Creative Writing who exhibits both a dedicated interest in creative writing and a demonstrated financial need. Guidelines in RB 297.
Note: More information about both of these opportunities is available on the English Department's Grants, Awards, and Scholarships page.
