All Aboard: Sailing Across Scholarships, Fellowships, and Friendship
About the Event
Sail the seven seas this summer as we explore and successfully apply to scholarships and fellowships. In this community studio, we will learn how to articulate our life experiences and academic and professional goals for the most common essay prompts. We will also learn how to stay organized when juggling multiple deadlines, create and sustain support systems, and most importantly, continue believing in yourself and your story through low and high tides.
In this session, participants will learn how to sustain and grow their creative network. Using the University of Chapel Hill’s The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship (a full-ride creative writing scholarship), participants will brainstorm a list of teachers, mentors, supervisors, and more who can speak about their creativity and ambition. Participants will also learn the art of the cold email to connect with writers and artists not in their network.
