About Scholarships
The Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society offers a limited number of scholarhips packages for Louisiana Writers to participate in Words & Music. Selection of scholarship participants is baed on merit. The number of scholarships available each year depends on the amount of underwriting received from private donor in that year. Over the years, the number has ranged from 10 to 150. In 2011 because of limited funding we will be able to offer a maximumof 10 scholarships for Louisiana writers. Winners and runners-up in the William Faulkner - William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition attend the conference on a scholarship basis, regardless of where they reside.
We also have scholarship passes available for Louisiana writers who simply want to attend the discussion events and are not seeking the critique/consultations services. English and Creative writing teachers will be given first preference for such passes, which do not include manuscript criitiques.
For bona fide students with current student ID, 50% discounts are available on the Writers' Tuition Package and certain individual events. (See Pricing and Schedule pages for details.)
With the exception of competition winners' packages, scholarship packages do not include any events with food, wine, entertainment elements. Scholarship participants who wish to attend luncheon, dinner events must purchase tickets.
