Prodigal Tribe Scholarship

Superstars awards two scholarships to previous Seminars attendees to enable them to return once more.

Applicants for the Prodigal Tribe Scholarship should include an answer to the following question within their personal essay:

What will returning to Superstars do for your writing career?

Applicants should complete all sections of the application, even if they’ve been to Superstars before.

Who is eligible to apply: Any writer who completes the scholarship application, including all required documents, and is free to attend Superstars on Wed-Sun over the conference week in February.

Scholarship recipients will receive the following:

  • Paid registration to the next Superstars Writing Seminars Conference, including Intensive Skills Day
  • $50 per diem allowance (per day)

This seminar can be a life-changing experience.
You can donate directly to this scholarship fund using the following link.

On behalf of the SSWS founders, faculty, staff and myself, thanks to everyone who contributed to our scholarship funds. Your generosity is paramount in helping us to offer education and networking opportunities to new writers. We appreciate your assistance in helping them get one step closer to their endeavors and dreams.
