Merit-Based Scholarships
Through the generous financial contributions of the Sullivan Endowment, Stetson’s MFA in Creative Writing is pleased to offer several merit-based scholarships. Merit-based scholarships range in value and are awarded by the Sullivan Creative Writing Committee based on the promise and strength of the application materials, as well as any outstanding scholarship obligations.
WORLD Rinker Center for International Learning
Stetson University offers travel scholarships for students who are studying off-campus. MFA students are eligible to apply for this funding to help offset residency fees for room and board associated with every semester held at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. The application is generally due October 1 for the Winter Semester and February 1 for the Summer Semester. These scholarships can be applied for by prospective, current, and graduating students.
