Scholarship Application:
Writing in the Pines

Deadline: April 7, 2024, 11:59pm EST

Judges will review submissions and make their selections. 

We can only consider one application per writer and recommend submitting your strongest work. It's fine to submit work in a different genre than you would like to write at the program.

This attendance-based scholarship is made possible by the Stockton Center on Successful Aging (SCOSA). The requirements for this scholarship are based on the requirements of SCOSA's grant. They include the following:

  • Must be 60 years of age or older as of April 13, 2024.
  • Must reside in Atlantic County, NJ.
  • Complete the form below and upload your writing sample as follows: Format a single Word or PDF document with up to 3 poems (single spaced, one poem per page, 12 pt font) or up to 3 pages of prose (double spaced, 12 pt font). Excerpts of longer pieces are okay. If your submission exceeds these lengths and/or does not meet the formatting guidelines, we will not be able to consider it.

We are unable to accept snail mail applications.

You are not required to officially register for Writing in the Pines to apply for this scholarship; however, you are welcome to register to secure your spot and we will give you a refund if you receive a scholarship.
