grant of £18,000, paid monthly over the course of one year. The
scholarship is intended to enable writers to write a new work (fiction
or non-fiction writing). The writing must be in English. Applicants have
to submit the brief description of their writing of (ideally 200 – 500
words). Application should be submitted via email by October 31st 2013.
Study Subject(s): The scholarship is provided for fiction or non-fiction writing but not poetry, plays or screenplays.
Course Level: The scholarship is intended to enable writers to write a new work not complete a work in progress. A “new work” is one which you have not yet begun writing.
