The Creative Writing Program and the Department of English of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are pleased to announce the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship, which offers full four-year financial support to one incoming freshman per year. The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship’s level of support is comparable to that of the University’s well-known Morehead Scholarships. Whereas the Morehead Scholarship places broad emphasis on a candidate’s exemplary leadership, community service, academic excellence, and physical vigor, the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship seeks to identify and reward students with exceptionally focused literary ability and promise.

Application Information
The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship will accept applications for its 18th national search beginning September 1st, 2018. Please note that our application process involves two separate steps and two different dates, and all applicants must take both steps and meet both deadlines, to wit: Thomas Wolfe Scholarship applicants must apply to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by the University’s October 15th, 2018 EARLY admission deadline and must meet all academic requirements for EARLY admission; and 2) Scholarship applicants must also apply to The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship, with the deadline for submissions to the Scholarship being November 15th, 2018 (submissions must be electronically submitted by that date).  These are two distinct application processes and require different forms and separate online submissions.
The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship award, the first of its kind at UNC-Chapel Hill, will be based largely on written work submitted by candidates. Artistic merit is the chief criterion of selection. Students who write poetry, fiction, plays, literary non-fiction (personal narratives, memoir, travel and nature essays, literary journalism, belles-lettres) are eligible. Multiple genre submissions are also encouraged. Submissions are limited to one application per student.
The application process requires the submission of up to fifty (50) pages in prose, forty (40) pages in poetry, or sixty (60) in play writing, in English. Students submitting work in MULTIPLE GENRES should submit between 50-60 pages of original work. In addition to completing the application, candidates will submit a five-hundred-word personal essay entitled “Why I Write.”
The age of entering freshmen under The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship shall not exceed twenty-two (22) years. The scholarship is not available to undergraduate college students seeking to transfer to UNC-Chapel Hill from other institutions. All applicants shall be citizens of the United States of America.
The Board of Advisors of The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship may award the scholarship to a new recipient annually. However, the Board of Advisors may decide not to award the scholarship in any given year due to financial constraints, the quality of applicants, or other sufficient reason, in the Board’s sole discretion. The decision of the Board of Advisors will be final. The submission of an application will constitute assent to all conditions and stipulations expressed herein.
Preliminary screening will be completed in early February 2019, with final screening concluding in early March. A minimum of three outstanding candidates will then be brought to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus for interviews, and a final selection of the next Thomas Wolfe Scholar will be made in early April 2019.

Application Materials:

• WRITING SAMPLE: Submit ON-LINE, a SINGLE WORD document, that includes:
• Application for The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship completed and emailed with other materials.
• A personal essay of no more than five hundred (500) words, in which the applicant introduces him or herself as a writer and reader, as someone who aspires toward the writing life, entitled “Why I Write.”
• Three (3) letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes from people who are able to comment on aspects of your creativity and ambition, including ONE (1) from a teacher who is familiar with your writing and can verify the originality of your submission. (Letters of recommendation will be submitted separately, mailed [Att: Thomas Wolfe Scholarship, 202 Greenlaw Hall, CB #3520, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3520], on letterhead stationary. They MUST be postmarked no later than NOVEMBER 15, 2017.)
• WRITING SAMPLE: Submit ON-LINE, a SINGLE WORD document, that includes 1) A copy of the APPLICATION with your responses (application is provided on the TWS Web site); 2) Your 500-word “Why I Write” narrative; 3) A TABLE OF CONTENTS, indicating titles (and genres) of work submitted; 4) Your original work, in order listed by your table of contents. Submit to TWSapplications@unc.edu
  • If you are submitting FICTION, 25 pages, double-spaced, minimum; 50 pages, double-spaced maximum. You may submit short stories, a novella, or chapters from a novel-in-progress. If submitting a longer work, please include a one-page synopsis of the project.
  • If you are submitting POETRY, 20 pages minimum; 40 pages maximum.
  • If you are submitting a DRAMATIC WORK, one full-length play, 40-60 pages, maximum OR two to three one-act plays, 40-60 pages combined maximum.
  • If you are submitting LITERARY JOURNALISM or CREATIVE NON-FICTION (personal narratives, travel or nature essays, book or film criticism, profiles, memoir, belles-lettres), 25 pages double-spaced minimum, 50 pages double-spaced maximum.
  • If you are submitting in MULTIPLE GENRES, 25 pages minimum, 60 pages maximum.

The Tom Joyner Foundation offers a variety of scholarships to students wishing to pursue their education at a Historically Black College or University.  The foundation’s vision is that all students deserve the chance to attend college so they can succeed in life. Therefore, it is the vision of the Tom Joyner Foundation to provide programming that affords diverse academic opportunities to students wanting and/or attending HBCU’s regardless of social or economic status and means. Their mission is to provide programming initiatives and partnerships in support of historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and its communities.  In doing so, they hope to accomplish the following goals”

• Provide diverse academic opportunities for HBCU students to become global citizens
• Provide HBCU students scholarships and access to special programs to help them complete their college degrees
• Provide programming to expand knowledge of the arts
• Develop initiatives to strengthen HBCUs through capacity building and marketing
• Develop programs that strengthen ties between HBCUs and the communities where they are housed

One student will win a scholarship to cover all expenses to an HBCU of their choice, joining an impressive group of previous “Full Ride” Scholars
(DALLAS – October 19, 2017) The Tom Joyner Foundation® announced the ‘Full Ride’ scholarship program that will cover all the expenses of one student planning to attend a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in the fall of 2018.
“Our full ride scholars are outstanding,” said Tom Joyner, chairman of his Foundation and host of the top-ranked nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning show. “We’re looking for another amazing young person who already is changing the world – and wants to go to an HBCU where they can pursue their dreams.”
Students will receive full tuition and stipends for up to 10 semesters to cover on-campus room and board and books. Students must meet the required academic standards each semester to renew the funds each year. Graduating high school seniors can apply for the scholarship by going to the Tom Joyner Foundation website – tomjoynerfoundation.org.
Students must have their schools mail their transcripts and recommendations to the Foundation at P.O. Box 630495, Irving, TX 75063-0495.
To be eligible, students must meet the following criteria:

• A United States Citizen
• Current high school seniors attending school in the United States (applicant must be anticipating completion of high school degree in the spring of 2019)
• Minimum high school grade point average of 3.50 (on a 4.00-grade scale, excluding home school studies) and Minimum SAT score of 1400 (combined math essay and verbal score) or ACT score of 30.
• Applicants must apply and be accepted to an HBCU by July 1, 2019.
• Applicants must have demonstrated leadership abilities through participation in community service, extracurricular, or other activities.

Information from last year’s award indicates that applications must be postmarked no later than January 19, 2018. Interviews will occur in March 2018.  I am assuming that when they open the scholarship application for the Class of 2019, there will be similar deadlines for this year.

Wheaton College in Massachusetts is committed to improving the world through new ideas and educational opportunity. We care deeply about assembling a global community of scholars that represents the widest possible range of viewpoints, not the least of which are the perspectives of students fleeing persecution and conflict in their home countries. To this end, the Wheaton Refugee Scholarship was established in 2017.
Each year, Wheaton awards more than $40 million to our domestic and international students in the form of merit- and need-based financial aid. This additional scholarship is an incremental scholarship and does not detract from our commitment to others in our applicant pool. Rather, it further expands our commitment to access to higher education.
One four-year Wheaton Refugee Scholarship that covers the total cost of attendance will be awarded each academic year. Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for the Wheaton Refugee Scholarship:
Students applying for a first-time undergraduate, liberal arts and sciences bachelor’s degree.
Students who have fled a war-torn region as a refugee and who do not hold U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status, or who have legally entered the United States as refugees.
Students who would not have the financial means to attend Wheaton without a full scholarship.
Students who, if admitted and choose to enroll, are able to obtain a visa to study full-time in the United States (or, who are already in the U.S. on a legal refugee visa status).
Students in any of the following categories are not eligible to apply for the Wheaton Refugee Scholarship:
Transfer applicants (students who have previously matriculated and enrolled in a post-secondary degree, diploma, or certificate program).
Students who have already earned an associate’s or bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, or another post-secondary, tertiary-level degree, diploma or certificate.
Students interested in master’s or PhD graduate degree programs; Wheaton College does not offer these graduate degrees.
Students enrolled at or who graduated from a United World College.
Students in the U.S. with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status.
Students who have the capacity to pay for a portion of their education should not apply for this scholarship, but should instead apply as a regular Wheaton applicant.
Applicants for this scholarship will only be considered for this one scholarship and will not be considered for early decision or early action admission, or any other Wheaton College merit or need-based financial aid programs. The $60 application fee will be waived.
The application deadline for the Refugee Scholarship is January 1 and applicants are encouraged to apply with the Wheaton First-Year Application to help us manage the fee-waiver process. We also accept the Common Application.
All international applicants, including those who apply for the Refugee Scholarship, must provide the required academic and financial documentation, including proof of English proficiency. A complete list of requirements can be found on our International Students applicants page.
All applicants will receive notice of their admission decision by April 1.
For more information, contact our Office of Admission at admission@wheatoncollege.edu
