November 10-11, 2006 at Fort Lewis College

Southwest Writers Institute

Scholarship recipients have been selected for the 2006 SWI, with recipients from Durango, Colorado, Kayenta, Arizona, and from Farmington and Albuquerque in New Mexico.

Thanks to generous grants from the Fort Lewis College Foundation and the Colorado Council on the Arts, we are pleased to offer five scholarships to interested participants. There are two categories for scholarships: 1) Fort Lewis College Alumni Scholarships and 2) the Four Corners Resident Scholarships. Each scholarship covers the registration for the entire weekend.

To apply for a scholarship, please send an email or mail a letter to the SWI Co-Director (benz_b@fortlewis.edu) by September 15, 2006, and in a message of no more than 300 words, explain who you are, why you are interested in the SWI, why you feel you deserve a scholarship, and what you hope to take away from the SWI. Low income and minority applicants are especially encouraged to apply. Scholarship winners will be notified before the early bird registration deadline on Oct. 1, 2006.
